Fake emails from blizzard out of hand

#0 - July 23, 2010, 6:20 a.m.

Ive been getting a lot of fake emails claiming to be from blizzard. So i did what I should do and make a new email and use it only for WoW. I have been doing that, but somehow i am still getting the emails no matter if i make a new email or not?
The email im using i made sure not to use it for anything else at all but i keep getting atleast 10+ a day. why do i keep getting these, it is getting really annoying.

any help at all would be great.

I'd also check your system for spyware.

Spyware on it's own is usually not directly malicious, but it can harvest this type of information and send it off. That type of malware can also harvest addresses out of your contact lists.

Another thing to remember, never EVER respond to one of those - not even to tell them to step-off.

Once you've responded to ANY phish, for anything, they now know that is a 'live' email and you'll never ever be rid of the spam.
