Beware Phishing Emails

Guest

Hey All,

I received an email (posted below) supposedly from Blizzard, but its a phishing scam so be careful!
(If you click on the link given in the email, it directs you to a page that has now been flagged as forgery.)

If you receive a phishing msg in-game, open a ticket and give detailed info on the msg, including any website
addresses given and etc. You may very well save someone else's account if the scam is caught quickly.

For more info on how to identify scams like this, check out the Blizzard security support page @
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=25133&parentCategoryId&pageNumber=1&categoryId=4272

And please, get yourself an authenticator! Think of all the time and effort you have put into your
toons! And if you are an officer with bank and kick privileges and you get hacked, well... all your
guildies could be guildless for quite a while.

Well of course! If we get hacked, we're the ones that are still paying our monthly fees regardless of how it takes Blizz to restore everything. So no loss on Blizz's part. If Blizz had to refund us the money for the days it took for them to fix the problem, I suppose they might be a little more diligent.

People Should ask for compensation for the days they do not have their toons to play, it is wasted time and money, essentialy. Then again, its only a game ......but still its our money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
