Is this a scam ?

I have received an email saying my password has been reset by the administrator for MG-Rover.org. Has anyone else come across this ?

It is no scam. It is posted on the front page of rover.org and by the admin on the forum.
They want stronger passwords to be used and they are now going to be time limited to 1 year.
The problem is though, I changed mine earlier tonight and it will now not allow me in. Seeing the adverts they are having on the forum, maybe it is best to leave rover.org now. More adult than my last visit. Definitely not work safe anymore!

Hi dave,
Just seen this notice on their site.....

Hello Everyone,
We wanted to give you an update on the reset password emails that went out yesterday. Due to the high volume of emails going out and some service providers blocking them as spam, users have either been getting them late, or not at all. If you have not received your password reset email please use the password reset function “forgot password”. These emails will go through a paid provider and should show up instantly. To do so just go to log in >> once it redirects you click forgot password >> follow the steps provided. If you do not remember the email address associated with your account you can use the contact us tab at the bottom of the page to email us for assistance. Please select the “other” option and add subject “security password issues”
We apologize for any disruption this has caused to your forum experience.
