Default 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.

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 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

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
