Regarding these fake emails, a question.

How do these people that are sending out these phishing emails get our email address in the first place. The email account I use for my WoW account has virtually no other use. I don't see how it could get leaked out as Blizzard is pretty much the only one who even knows the address.

Any response to this is appreciated.

They also send them shot-gun. Some of those are going to be good, some of the good ones are going to be WoW players.

If you send out 10s of millions, some of them are going to hit a mark.

If you are positive no one else has ever had that email - and you've not posted it anywhere, there may also be spyware on your system picking it up.
