I've come to notice on almost (if not all) false emails that want you to supposedly log into your account share one common trait. THE URL IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS

<this is VERY risky, many email programs will let you see a destination if you MOUSE OVER a URL - do NOT click>

Common fake urls that i've seen include:
-sites where they miss-spell 'battle' (i.e. bttle, battlwe, bbttle, etc.)
-others inolve the lie they place in their email as the url like >battle-account-security.net< or similar streems seperated-by-dashes-like-this.


Hope this helps cause i really hate scammers

Do not EVER follow a link that may be suspicious, those sites are often lousy with keyloggers and all it takes is loading the page in most cases to infect your system.
