Blizz Ban?... I think not.

Just got an email this morning from Blizz saying I had done something wrong ("Just assumed it was another one of those assjack GM's banning for "botting")

Then I looked a little closer...

I had an e-mail like that a few months ago. I checked the forums and found out that its a fairly common scam.

Someone should hit that kind of people where it really hurts X( Account stealing asshats!

The sad part is it obviously works - the mail is so blatantly fake yet people constantly fall for this crap.

I guess it goes to show you that the average wow player is stupid.

*LOL*

from: wowaccountadmin@181.com

EVERY MAIL from blizzard has atleast @blizzard.com or @wow-europe.com

PLUS

They got all that information in their database, you password, secret answer, anything, they can just look up. SO DONT send your information to that.

Blizzard can ask: ---------->4<------ last didgets of your creditcard. and just 4 not 16.

or fax them a copy of your identity card. And you can hide all your personal numbers whatever there.

Lol, yeah, well, you get those people who fall for all those "Want your credit checked?, try this site."... And people actually do it, lol.

I already assumed 80% of the wow Pop was running on a “low memory capacity”...

Has anyone done an Age group compilation of wow players?

Biggest /facepalm of that email imo is:

You can confirm blah blah... by replying to this e-mail.

Sent from : DONOTREPLY@Blizzard.com

Playing to people's fear is a powerfully effective tactic. Say something scary ("your account will be banned", "the terrorists will win" etc) and people turn their brains right off. It's big with politicians too.
