Whisper stating my account would be suspended

#0 - June 3, 2010, 7:02 a.m.

So I was just on less then 5 minutes ago and got a whisper from someone with the screen-name "Blizzr" or something along the lines of that. And they told me my account was up for suspension (without stating why it would be) and to visit a site called "wow-aid". I'm scared to actually visit the site because it might be a scam. I have not done anything illegal or against Blizzard's rules and never would. Please tell me this is just a scam that has been going around?

This is just another version of a 'phish' attempt, Aesong.

Just like gold advertisements - or anyone advertising a website for epics, etc. - using the Report Spam feature (right-click their name a little menu pops up) will quickly report these.

Remember, if WE ever message you ingame or send you an ingame email, there will be the blue Blizzard logo by our name.

Our chat also pops up in another window in most cases - but we will ALWAYS have that logo by our name when we are speaking to you on a Game Master character.
