Got this in my in box today and while it's possibly legit, I sincerely doubt it since I don't have a battle.net account and have never even considered to play WoW. Figured I'd share with those on the WoW side of Alla just on the incase of hoodlumory.



edited cause someone asked nicely. :)

It looks legitimate, but I'm positive it isn't.

• No character name is mentioned.
• I'm pretty sure that most paid services are still handled on the worldofwarcraft.com site.
• Unless it's a promotional thing, Blizzard always uses the domain blizzard.com (Although legitimate email addresses that Blizzard uses can be spoofed.).

I recommend forwarding the full headers to hacks@blizzard.com and reporting it as spam to your email provider.

My latest phishing attempt was a phisher sending me a whisper with the usual bogus name followed by enough spaces to create a new line with a phony "[name]GM - you've done something bad - log onto [hacker site] so we can steal your account info."
