This is truly a glorious day.

A person, who is well aware of their bad grammar, reacts properly to a scam filled with bad grammar.

/praise


Also, "your account has been involved in the disputed transactions." Hahaha

Dude they're mostly chinese, i think it's good english for guys who got a totally different language :P U also made some grammar fails :P

It's not funny :P It's fail that they don't put it that realistic in there. I got a mail yday which was really like the same as blizz would do. But never click links, Noone can't say that enough. Since still players fall for it.

I hope that is NOT your definition of a "safe" web site.

I´d say it´s fake. But some emails has the online privacy link thingy aswell, what you could do is copy the original link right click and copy adress, paste it into the browser og word DO NOT PRESS! and compare to real blizzard emails that you are sure are right. Also you could log into battle net through battle.net instead of clicking the link.

Although, it´s most likely fake, it´s something to take on for future problems and references.

Hey guys,
The Emails is sent to the mail that is linked to the account right? (retorical question)
I changed my WoW email several months ago (like 7ish) and these scam emails keep popping up on the OLD email but there haven't been a single one on the new one...
Why? How do they get the adresses and why aren't they getting my new one?

When did you last buy gold?

[Bubblelite]

That was pretty funny, if anyone fell for an email like that then they probably deserved it

I can even tell how old you are or that you are into playing Warhammer tabletop. That enough proof that you're not secure on the Internetz?

They can actually hack blizzard's DB's as far as i know, they hacked me even with my authenticator :P But they couldn't logg in tho. But they did changed my password somehow o.O

Or they pick up cookies from your web browser somehow.

I got no clear / sure answer tho, actually... it's just guesses. But to enter a DB ain't to hard.

Today is Friday so... Never. And no I'm not lying.
