This is what I got in the email today. I removed the links. This one is the worst I have seen. I just can't believe anyone who speaks a word of english would fall for this.

Man, how do people keep getting scam emails? I think I've seen like maybe one gold selling email in all the time I've played WoW, even when I used the same email for my WoW accounts and anything else game related.

These days I have to log into my WoW email every so often to make sure I actually enabled forwarding, because I never see anything from that account.

I'm beginning to think they sort of scan several well known mmo related websites/forums for email addresses. Maybe they even scan profiles pages. I own a domain name and I've got the habit to create a new alias of one of my emails each time I subscribe or create an account somewhere. Any given alias is only used one time. I regularly receive scams emails for aion and wow on emails used to created an account on several well known websites.

Same here, i don't think i ever had a scam email on the account, even though i use the emailadress for about anything.

I get a scam blizzard email about 1 time per day. It's to the point I delete everything and figure if there is a problem with my account I will find out when I cannot log in. Don't be fooled by these scammers trying to get you to log in their fake websites so they can get your login info.
