[Removed]

Haven't really been on much this weekend, but I've had 200 this month.

which is complete crap.

Firstly. how do these idiots get my email address from blizzard.

and trolls, don't bother saying derp porn hub derp you click on retarded crap. because i don't.
I've never been hacked and no i don't visit phishing sites because im not a [Removed].

I've tried many different spam filters. that fail to work because Blizzard Entertainment is a "secure" company.

I never had this problem before the big battle net merge.

and the emails i opened were from a different computer so don't try and pin the blame on that. i usually laugh at how crap the emails are structured.

I've scanned my computer with many many different spyware, malware and antivirus softwares and apparently Im clean as a whistle, I'VE EVEN REFORMATTED.

I've even changed my email address to a new email and when i say new email i mean created the email on a different computer with my ISP and then changed my wow email to that email straight away. and guess what within 1 (ONE) day i was getting phishing emails.

/end rant

Any brothers or sisters having this issue but have resolved is successfully, and how so?

Would love to see some blue post input on this.

Q u o t e:
I already made a new email and tried that.. no luck though. Night all thanks for input ill be back tomorrow to check on this

To be honest, Catasdrood, I am going to be unable to tell you precisely how they get your e-mail address. I assure you that we do not distribute account information and can guarantee you that the information was not obtained through Blizzard Entertainment. I don't see you having swapped out your e-mail address, so you may want to try that, if you are receiving a lot of phishing attempts in your current e-mail address.
