Scammer posing as a Blizzard Rep

#0 - March 16, 2010, 9:20 a.m.

While playing on Frostmourne server and was chatting in party, I stumbled upon a pm stating that they have a special mount for me but yet to obtain it followed by a website <removed>. If i knew i would get anything from blizzard, I would have known about it through the mail system and I didnt do anything great to earn myself a mount. Anyway be aware of certain pm about such a thing no matter what server youre on

In this case, character name of the accused is Wowcharheill

" Hi, you have been obtained from Blizzard's rare mounts,But you did not recieve. For more information, please visit: ( site mentioned on the 1st paragraph)"

Why would you go to a website that isn't Blizzard, Tyria?

Please - IMMEDIATELY, change your password - and I'd change your email as well.

This would be a scam artist trying to steal your account.

I'd also do deep security scans on your system, they often try to install malware if you actually go to the site.

Edit: After re-reading your post, that of course would be if you actually visited the site in question.

You should be in good shape then.

This is just another type of phish/scam - in this case, happening ingame.

Im hoping noone else falls for such a pm like this. But unfortuantely someone will eventually go into it " hook line and sinker" <.<

You'd think not - but you'd be surprised.
