Phish whisper

I got a phishing whisper as soon as I clicked to buy 2 crusader orbs from the triumph badge quartermaster about my account being closed in one hour by a player named "Blizzcast". I tried to "Report Spam" on him/her and it said "Player not found". I have a screenshot but cannot add it here. Is there somewhere I can send it?

I'm reporting this otherwise it might not be known; I'd hate to think if someone fell prey to this scam.

The character may have already been deleted at that point, Xithxocutl, and so returned a "Player not found" message when selected. Thank you for trying to report the message as spam, though! It's very much appreciated. We can still take care of matters from here.

With that said, I can assure you that the whisper you received was not triggered as the result of your Triumph badge purchase. It was simply remarkable coincidence and nothing more. :)
