Hi Barbarian, I've received the same email too which was not actually from AlertPay itself, as I noticed the link provided inside the email was not directed to AlertPay formal site but to the www.aiertpay.com instead.
Seems like you are still able to login to your AlertPay account, I think you had better login and change your password to avoid future lost of your money. But this time, type in the web address yourself: www.alertpay.com to avoid going to other phising site.

There are dishonest people who send you fake emails from payment processors, banks, eBay and other sites. They trick you into entering your details, and then they steal your money and/or details. If you haven't already done so, change your Alertpay passwords immedately. Never log into a site from an email - type the address of the site into your browser and log in from there. I'm so sorry to hear it has happened to yet another person. I know it's $2, but fortunately it wasn't $2,000 !

I don't even know what you're talking about. Did AlertPay send you some type of notice? Care to elaborate?

I've recieved an email from ''noreply@alertpay.com'' that said I should change my password because they want to move inactive members. I did so and lose my money.:(.

I got an email recently claiming to be from PayPal asking me to confirm my bank details. Luckily I realised it was a scam as they said I'd reached my holding limit (which I found out to be $1,700 - which I'm nowhere near, lol!). Now this has made me extremely wary of believing anything that says its from one of these companies - or indeed from any website as I've also read about a fake e-bay email - and especially things which asks for any personal, banking or password details.
I'm not surprised you were fooled; these emails can be very convincing and I'm sure that you're far from alone. It's a shame you had to lose money, but like someone else said, it's lucky it wasn't more. And hopefully, like me, this will make you more wary of other scammers trying to take your money.
