JeKoCZ Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Found this email in my inbox this morning, seems legit as it's from noreply@blizzard.com, but I don't even have a WoW account nor I ever played that game.. Not that I care about a phantom account I don't even have, but is this normal? I'm sure I never downloaded WoW, so this came unexpected.

Draqsko Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 its phishing. Could be phishing, could be keylogger, could be a lot of things. Can't tell without seeing the raw html since the link text is correct but I'm willing to bet it points to a site other than https://us.battle.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonalius Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If I move the mouse over that link, this is what I get. Haven't clicked on it, so don't advise you to do it. Yup. Its a bit of scare mongering to get you to give over your password and what not. A lot of people keep just a handful of passwords, and as they have your email, that potentially could let them into quite a bit. Anyway, its a scam, delete and move on (Oh, and I'd delete the majority of that url if I were you in order to prevent anyone else clicking it. I know you warned people, but someone will click it anyway... Then probably blame you if something went wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotgutus Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Found this email in my inbox this morning, seems legit as it's from ...

You know in that one in a million, why didn't I buy a lottery ticket, chance I was one of the first spammed with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Could be phishing, could be keylogger, could be a lot of things. Can't tell without seeing the raw html since the link text is correct but I'm willing to bet it points to a site other than https://us.battle.net/ well whatever it is, its definitely not legit. even when I get these e-mails about the games I do play, I always go to the account site of that game from my bookmarks (rather then link in the e-mail) and double check there - since whatever issues your account may have, they will be showing up on your account page. and then when possible, use report phishing function.

Icestar Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Do not bother with that, it is designed to make players give up information. I used to get some of those mails before I changed email, some were horrible translated even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
