    You'd think they could pay some native English speaker a few thousand gold to create something that's at least grammatically correct.

    Or just go look on the blizzard US forums and find someone who posted a REAL blizzard email and just cut & paste that into an email.

    The more this stuff happens, the more I'm reminded of our old saying when watching "Cops" here in the US: "Criminals is dumb."

    There's a good chance people/organizations like this have received ban emails of their own that they can copy and paste from.

    Well, to my knowledge there's no official mail that asks you to visit a website and enter credentials in order to stop an account from being banned Blizzard seems to be more inclined to send an email when the account is already banned, temporarily or permanently so the content of the mail is fairly different

    The point is, they could use most of it and only need a few extra lines, making it look much more legitimate than the gibberish posted by the OP.

    I always wonder that myself. On the other hand, they probably realize that only the dumbest people fall for such a badly-worded scam attempt. And when you are looking to scam people, who do you prefer to deal with? Yeah, the dumbest ones.

    Well, the dumbest ones are also the ones who'll take up the most support time complaining when their stupidity gets them in trouble. And, if the official WoW forums are any guide, I'd say about 90% of the WoW playerbase is functionally retarded, so that's a LOT of dumb people whining to Blizzard...

    Unfortunately, this is not a concern to a scammer. Having idiots tie up Blizzard's support staff and slowing the pace at which they can resolve issues just works further in their favor. It's a win-win situation for the wrong people.

    And in response to Hivetyrant's screenshot, all I can say is that "Fransisca Justin Yak" is an awesome name. She should be a singer, everyone would rush out to buy the debut album from "Frankie Yak."

    Yeah, she's a pretty cool chick. I sent her my life's savings so she could come over and meet me (She comes from a war torn family, etc, etc)

    I'll post some pics if she ever gets back to me :P
