New Ingame Scam - Suspended Account Message

#0 - July 23, 2010, 9:19 a.m.

I just received a message from someone pretending to be a GM ingame saying that my account has been suspended and I should go to <removed> for more info.

I don't know where this link really takes you & I not game to try it.

This "GM" had not blizzard logo next to the name & turned out to be a level 1 Warrior in Elwynn Forest with a random name that was created from key mashing. :P

Hopeful no one has fallen for this scam.

The .in on the end indicates it's hosted in India. We don't have a website hosted in India :)

Yes, this is a malicious attempt to steal your information. If we ever message you ingame there will ALWAYS be a blue Blizzard logo by our name.

Everyone else should immediately be reported with Report Spam.
