"Phantom" mail ?

#0 - Aug. 22, 2010, 2:14 p.m.

I have a notice on my mailbox icon on the mini-map of mail from a toon ive never heard of, but there is no such mail in my inbox.

And, now just logging back into that character the name is gone from my mini-map icon.

I suspect this to be some sort of scam mail but the name wasnt the usual randomized name scammers use.

edit: just added this name to ingame friends list but it is not showing up on wow armory ... under level 10 I suppose

re-edit: toon named "..........", if a curious GM wants to check into a hacker ... deleting name in 3,2,1 .....

Q u o t e:

I can confirm this to be true, Nerdius. As stated above the mail was a phishing attempt, designed to obtain your login information so your account can be compromised and used for similar tasks. The mail was simply intercepted by the Game Master department before you were able to review the mail yourself. No need to worry about the sending character, you should be fine removing them from your friends list, as they have already been dealt with appropriately.
