It's not hard to find the info. I browse and lurk at several sites where these types hang out, to see what scams and things they're up to, so I can avoid it - I know what phishing e-mails they're copy and pasting from each other, what new scams they have set up, and all of that. I do it from a Mac, that has never had WoW on it, and never will, so I'm pretty secure. Just google some of the terms, they don't do much to hide what they're doing.

Surprisingly, there isn't much discussion of the company that just shut down, I think most of them concentrate on phishing, because A. it's easier (they're lazy), and B. less likely to get their accounts banned. They know what's going on, there's a couple of complaint posts, but for the most part, they've moved on to other apps or other methods to steal from people.

Blizzard is WAY overdue for a ban wave, don't get frustrated if botters are still around - they will be gone after the next ban wave, no fear. I'm hoping the do one before the next patch, get it and the flood of QQ posts in time for the next flood of QQ posts about the patch. Blizzard has always moved slowly over issues like this, even way back in the Diablo II days, but when they do move, they hit HARD.

I had to laugh, recently, one of the more notorious sites for scamming and botting added member photos - seems being 14, and really ugly, is a requirement to join.

Visit these sites at your own risk - and please don't post their names or addresses here. Ever.
