Sooo I Received My First Fake Beta Invite Email?

[Ondre]

Aight so i log into my email, and i see blizzard, and beta invite. Immediately i got excited. I was like OMG FINALLY! I can test the new dungeons, and level up a bit. I open it up and rite away i notice IT LOOKS REALLY REALLY FAKE! Ive seen images of the real beta invites, it was hilarious now terribly bad this person failed. Im saying if you are going to scam me at least get your foot in the door, copy and paste the real shit. Something!!! Just a heads up to those out there, if this guy tries to get you dont click the link. I clicked it so you didnt have to the link is for another site which will ask you to put in your information, email, pass, code. Then they jack your shit.

How did these people find me? I should really change my warcraft email after this. Ive never received wow spam mail before. Something tells me im going to now.

You couldn't tell right away from a Gmail address that it was fake? Whyyyy did you click the link?

Like i said amazingly poor attempt. It had to have been written by a preteen or sumtin. Its severely amateur. I tries to backtrace this nublet, but google shows nothing. I might inform google.

This is your first? I have received hundreds (which all reside in yahoo spam folder). The funniest thing is, I don't even use that email account for warcraft.

I really need to figure this out... How the hell did this person get my email : /

Its a blizzard employee


i can tell.
/sarcasm off

I hear so many complaints about spam gold selling, Cata beta invites, etc etc.

I have received...exactly 0 of any type of spam/scam/unwanted WoW-related mail. You guys must be more popular.

That doesn't look like a Beta Invite...its just the warning to get the opt-in ready before they start the lottery

As far as I can see that e-mail only tells you to be sure you are opt in o.o.

congrats?

i am sure they are just using a script to email as many people as possible, i am sure that people who dont even play WoW have got that email as well.

I wonder how people do actually fall for these...

Everyone forward your phishing email spam crap to that kids gmail address.

Exact same here :'3
In fact, I started receiving them as soon as I created a Battle.net account about a week before it was made mandatory.

I have responded to him "Sir you failed at hacking at life at the game and at the interwedbz"

I'm pretty disappointed. I haven't gotten one scam email yet, and I'm pretty liberal about where I type my email address. Maybe my spam filter just catches them all or something.
