In-game level 1 posing as Blizzard Official

#0 - April 3, 2010, 6:36 p.m.

Hello,

I would like to bring it to Blizzard's attention that a level one character recently whispered me. It directs you to an obviously fraudulent website to enter in your account info, and threatens you to enter in the info or your account will be suspended in one hour. It's name was "Blizzphyllis" on the Eredar US alliance-side. A link to a screenshot of its whisper is here:

I edited out the URL for everyone on here's safety. If a mod would like to know the URL so that Blizzard can perhaps take action against this malicious website, they can email me and I can reply or something like that.

Thanks.

**EDIT: immediately after making this poster, I got another whisper, this time from "Blizzadvise" (on Eredar US alliance side again) They told me I got a rare mount! and that I should visit a website! The website for this scammer is not the same as the first one...here's a s/s with the malicious URL edited out:
