Default Spoof PStars email?

I just got this email. Anyone know what this is about? I didn't ask for a password reset and this doesn't appear to be from Poker Stars.

"Dear PokerStars player,

Your temporary password is XXXXXXXXX. For security reasons, you will be prompted to select a new password once you log on. Please contact support@TestPokerStars.com if you need assistance.

testpokerstars.com seems to be registered to the same people as pokerstars.com.

I'd send Stars support an email and ask them.

no guess on your PW reset. maybe someone is homer at another site and is trying to re-activate at stars(yes i am too trusting)

as far as testpokerstars, there is a pop-up in the lobby about this site. pop-up is encouraging people to play there. i have not clicked the link to see what they are doing tho.

Looking at the testpokerstars website, it looks to me like someone went over there, entered the wrong user name, and you got sent a password for it.
