Someone that I don't know if it's a hacker or a blizzard employee, sent me this e-mail:

I think it's very weird, because every mmorpg that I played, there were always an alert message saying that GMs will never ask our password...

Q u o t e:
* Account password


This email is indeed malicious in nature, Doidodx, as a Blizzard employee would never ask for your account's password. If you are willing, go ahead and forward this onto [email protected] so that it may receive further review.

Also, I'd recommend taking a look at our Fake Emails From "Blizzard" sticky (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=965511383&sid=1). Within, there's a list of emails in current circulation, as well tips to help you prevent receiving them in the future. :)

I know you are likely just playing around, Gem - but, I really wouldn't recommend that.
