This one fails for a number of reasons.. mainly the US phone number and site as I play on EU servers



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Also, OH SNAP I got the same email as OP

Lol @ the music.

I do also love to get mails from USBLIZZARd@blizzard.com when I play @ EU servers.

I find this email odd. It's obviously a fake considering the address where the email came from. But what gets me is that the hyperlinks in the email are links to authentic Blizzard sites, which wouldn't have any adverse effect on your account security. If anyone can explain to me how that could be bad, I'd be appreciative. The only theory I can postulate is that when clicked, the hyperlinks don't take you to the advertised website, but to an outside phishing site, but I'm not sure that's possible considering the hyperlink is displayed right there for you.

basicly, you can mask the link to look like something else, for example if you see people having ''click here'' in link colours on these forums they masked the link, usualy just an extra easy to use link but is used by scammers to get information because alot of people forget to check the search bar on top if it actualy leads to the link it says it does

A few people aren't gonna be happy when they see they've been banned...

This has got to be my all time favourite email so good that I decided to save it, it isn't to do with WoW, however kudos to this guy for effort!

It is absolutely possible to create a link to a fake website.. Like this:

NameToRealBlizzardSite.com

But another thing that I find rather impressive about that email is the graphics.. First time I've seen a scam mail with the appropriate graphics..

I got this one today

I am Harry,I am a senior partner in the Technical Advisory Board of Royal
Bank Of Scotland UK (Senior Security Specialist). We are conducting a
standard process investigation on behalf of "Royal Bank Of Scotland UK",
the International Banking conglomerate.

This investigation involves a client who shares the same surname with you
and also the circumstances surrounding investments made by this client at
"Royal Bank Of Scotland", the Private Banking arm of Royal Bank Of
Scotland. The client died in testate and nominated no successor in title
over the investments made with the bank. I would respectfully request that
you keep the contents of this mail private and respect the integrity of
the information you come by as a result of this mail.

I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released to me, but that would
have drawn a straight line to me and my involvement in claiming the
deposit. But on the other hand, you with the same very name as the
depositor's would easily pass as the beneficiary with right to claim. I
assure you that I could have the deposit released to you within few
working days.

There is a reward for this project and it is a task well worth
undertaking. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is
from you refusing to work with me. I am the only one who knows of this
situation, good fortune has blessed you with a name that has planted you
into the center of relevance in my life. Lets share the blessing. If you
find yourself able to work with me, contact me through my email account
below. If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process
towards a conclusion.

I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the
consequences, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained
and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.

This is the one truth I have learned from my private banking clients. Do
not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should plan a
meeting soon send me a mail: harrydavid@safe-mail.net

Kind regards,
Harry David.

dont realy know what to think about this but just got this in my mail

Good day! My name is Ira..
I am on a dating site for the first time in my life and hardly I can tell what exactly sparked my interest in your profile. I do not think that any profile is able precisely to define all qualities and all depth of the soul of the person you are looking for. But you were what I wanted to write. I'm lonely, single, 32 years old woman. There's nothing wrong with me, but I can't expect to find the men of my dreams in a bar or at a club. Those places are for superficial people whose only judgment upon you is based on appearance and not the content of their character. I have lost many close people in my life, this has enriched me to see what is really important in life, and what does not... I was hurt in my life, who didn't? But I still live with the hope that God will put me on the right path to meet my other half. I am romantic and very sincere in a relationship. My life is great, but far from perfect, seems there is one thing missing from my life. It's that special someone that I can share all the wonderful moments in life. I want to fall in love and feel totally enamored when I see him, talk to him and hear him voice, for the first time and every time after that to an eternity! I do not know if it is really possible to find a soulmate in such a way. I have decided to take this step, courageous for me step in a way to possible happiness because I always gave chance to my destiny. Either way, I am looking for someone who i can spend time with and get rid of feelings of loneliness. I want to take it nice and slow as friends, and see if we are right for each other and if we are compatible. Maybe it will be a great friendship, maybe it will be the Love. I ask you to answer to my personal e-mail address: iradent@bigmir.net
Hopefully my email will find you healthy and happy and if you think that we are compatible I would like to try to go ahead. Anyway I know only one way to find it out, and that requires us to take a step. I am open and willing to take that step. I will wait for your letter and if you are really serious in your search, maybe we will find interest in each other. In the next letter I send you my picture. Please do not play with me in the joke, because I'm serious in my search, and I am saying everything with all sincerity.
With best regards.
Ira.
