Fake WoW phishing attempts
 
How many of you are getting spammed with poorly done letters doctored to look like they're from Blizzard? I've been getting them since I signed up for the Project 1999 forums. They're usually poorly done, with terrible grammar and many misspellings and always aimed at some site like wow-battle-net-investigation.com.

I think the forum database may be compromised.

Or something like that. I can't believe some people fall for them.

First time i hear about it as well, those bad grammar ones in city of heroes were hilarious though, they asked if you were "Bored on the leveling way?" and then try to sell you some PL, just hand over your account info!

I've been getting them for months - long before I joined Project 1999.

I get sometimes up to 5 a day at an email address that has nothing to do with my old (inactive for 3 years) WoW account. I like to go to their fake sites and leave BS usernames and passwords that usually make pejorative references to their mothers and their possible predilections toward bestiality (proxy condom on of course)

It makes me giggle

Yeah ive been getting them for awhile now, way before i joined p99 though

Theres actually been a few posts on the blizzard/wow websites about this, its been getting waaay worse then it has ever been before

Some of the emails are actually starting to look extremely legit too, I know there was talk about making authenticators mandatory for awhile how far that has gotten i dont know
