WoW phishing website

#0 - June 27, 2009, 9:29 p.m.

When searching "World of Warcraft" or "Wow" in Google the first website that comes up is a phishing website. It is on the top of the searches too because it is a "sponsored" link.. I think this might be a reason why alot of people are getting hacked. The only thing that gave it away was its description: " Manage your Worldonwarcraft account Visit The official site Now!"

I just thought I would put that out there. Maybe there would be a way to contact google and have them remove it? I'm positive some people have fallen for this one.
