Free Winged Guardian??

[Tehjoker]

So I've gotten this email twice. It's obviously fake because the english is broken in parts. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.


Greetings!

So saddle up, because this flying mount will travel as fast as your riding skill will take you, and it can even travel at 310% speed if you have at least one other 310% speed mount.

Remove the link...

[Subjectv]

Hover over (BUT DO NOT CLICK) the link. It goes to a phishing website. You should remove the link ASAP so that unsuspecting forum readers do not read and mistakenly click it.

I'm not willing to go to the website to see what kind of scam they're using, but it's likely either some sort of "enter your password" (then they steal your information) or "oh hey, we just installed a trojan".

If it sounds too good to be true, it IS too good to be true. It's a scam.

why dont people learn already,blizzard wont give you anything for free,they'll even make you pay to play with your friends...

[Martinussen]

[eternalwhitemoon]

1) A link to click

2) This broken English: "we will be complimentary seat to the 5,000 players. You can log Web site application, we will be lucky players randomly."

and

3) a free mount out of the blue

...should have given away that it's not legit.

Good to get this out there, though, to make others aware of this.
