New Scam : "Blizzard-Mounts"

#0 - May 24, 2009, 9:48 a.m.

I just got a tell from a freshly-created DK named Blizzardmounts with a funny "i". Spelling and grammatical errors are unfixed.

"Hi, Blizzard is about to launch a new mounts,free trial, for more information, please log in : "
I know this is a scam. I'm just posting so the right people can get the info if they already don't have it.

Thanks for the heads up!

In the future, go ahead and use the Report Spam feature to ensure we're able to remove these players from the game as quickly as possible.

Best wishes!

Remember guys....

Not only is something like this not going to happen, but any tell you get from us ingame will have a little blue Blizzard logo by our name.

Please report these guys immediately so they can be dealt with.

Thanks!

I think he means " Whats it do" Orylia

Oh, most likely tries to put a keylogger on your machine and/or looks like a Blizzard page and tries to phish your login information - sometimes both.

If you actually went to the site, I'd do a full security sweep on your system immediately. Those are notorious for malware that will infect your system if given an opportunity.

This sticky may prove useful.
