Reporting Phishing Emails

#0 - Feb. 26, 2010, 2:23 p.m.

Recently I've been bombarded by phishing emails. I can only speculate that some post I made somewhere included my email and the fact that I play WoW.

So, I changed my Battle Net login account to something I don't share anywhere.

I continue to receive these phishing scam emails to my old email address so I know without opening it's a scam.

I have forwarded all these emails to [email protected]. Should I continue to forward every phishing email that I receive? I don't want Blizzard to think I'm spamming them and then have my account locked or banned.

Thanks

That would be fine, Kyplor. Those are helpful and chances are they come from multiple sources.

Once an email gets into the wild like that, yeah - changing it was probably the best choice.
