[Fafnir]

Dam is that thing still floating around? Its almost as old as wow itself. The sad thing about it is that some people has fallen for it. *human stupidity*

 

[Olgaline]

I hope you took the time to forward it to Blizzard

 

[CorNokZ]

seems legit

 

[TheBinarySurfer]

I hope you took the time to forward it to Blizzard

What's funnier is saying you will only give out your account information to them if they call you up and ask for it, and then giving them the number of the most expensive gay phone sex line you can find.

 

[Huntingtons]

seems legit

yeah, i say go for it.

 

[Litmus]

i got it too

 

[Thadius]

Those scam emails will always exist as long as people are stupid enough to respond to them.

I used to just reply to them for the lulz and feed them a load of bullshit, 419eater style!

[pikeh]

lol...perfect corporate speak

I think you are right
quite seriously.

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

I think you are right
quite seriously.

The phrase is correct, however the punctuation is not, therefor it will not be written by a lawyer or from Blizzard Inc.

 

[Afran]

I got it too Really badly worded in places

 

[Helme]

I got it aswell, on an email adress not related to my WoW account in anyway

 

[fl3a]

[Afran]

The f*ck, now I got a real one:

Greetings

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:
WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account. If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.

To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/authenticate.html

Only Account Administration Team will be able to assist you with account retrieval issues.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, and your continued interest in World of Warcraft.

These people are actually contacting blizzard to try get accounts banned now? :O

(Before you ask, no I didn't open any link in the fake e-mail or reply ;p)

 

[Thadius]

Have you been trading gold or anything?

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

The f*ck, now I got a real one:

<blah>

Check the addresses under those links, because it's rather easy to make a link to http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml go elsewhere, because this still looks like something a fisher could mail.

Better yet, don't follow links, but type them into your browser if you only have the slightest idea something /could/ be awry

 

[TdC]

just forward it to WOW support every time and ask them to verify it even if it came with a naked pic of Mike Morhaime himself.
