Here is the latest that I got today!!
"( Blizzrcd) Hello, you are drawn in the system to receive your gift, Please visit www.wow-prize. &&&. Celestial Steed and Game time will be yours."
I got this in a whisper! Alot of the others I was getting was starting with I have violated the policy and I apparently bought gold outside the game which I did report cause I know I didn't and then there was one that said I had an official invitation to Cataclysm Beta testing! For the most part some of the ones I do get almost look real! They are getting sneakier and sneakier about getting your information! This is getting annoying due to the fact it is happening ALL DAY!!

Do any of you get these as well or are they different?

As real as the message may appear, Kristalynn, the best way to tell if the message is from a Blizzard employee is to look for the Blizz icon. More information on these whispers and how to recognize a Blizzard Employee please check out the following Support Article.

If you receive these types of whispers please use the Report Spam feature and report it. That reporting method was designed for just these issues.
