This is something that WoW players should know. ALWAYS verify the link provided in the email. you see the hacker successfully SPOOF the name and link location. if you are not careful, say bye bye to your account. lol @@"

email frm blue will write ur name like hello *name*,
fake 1 jz with a "greeting,"

BlackThyra you hardly online on lyn !

haha so? thats cause i WoW more than spending time here

i received 2 of the variants of the scam above, the first email caught me where i clicked on the link and it bring me to a phishing site of battle.net lol

then i did type my user name and pw but the page links me to the REAL wow website after that instead of logging me in, and i knew i fell for the scam, so i immediately log in battle.net by manually typing the address and change my password.

And there was another email i receive

new type is it legit or fake o.o

Lol.. Thats definitely Fake!! Cant you tell??

well blizzard gives you email like that also if some one on different ip logs into your account happened to me before long ago.

lol what im stressing here is the link provided.... the email content can be the same but the link given cant be fooled. it will always come from wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com or accountservices@blizzard.com.

and account info changes should be in the account management panel at www.battle.net.

srsly though its obvious!

this 1 was from noreply@blizzard.com

noreply@blizzard.com usually comes AFTER you reply the real blizzard email...

also u see http://www.blizzard-account-information.co...ccount/&app=wam

u should already that its FAKE. why bother other details?

i've been dealing with blizzard via email quite sometimes already so i know how they look like.
