Phishing Emails

This is probably not new news here. But just a warning about phishing emails. I got the following one today in my gmail account. If your not used to this already please make sure you do two things ... ok three things if you ever get one of these mails from Blizzard.

1. Check that the reply to and from are teh same as the display. Here we can see blizzard.com in the display and fibertel.com.ar when we dig a bit deeper.

2. Dont click the links. Go to the site. If you get an email supposedly from Blizzard dont follow the link. Go to WorldofWarcraft.com / Account Management and log in that way.

3. If the message is Authentic... Slap yourself.

Greetings, An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded.

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.
