I've got someone that sent me a very legitimate looking email saying that my account information had changed. With all of the account hacking going on though, I was very skeptical. So, I looked for a few "red flags" and found them right off the bat and I hope that maybe it can help other players. First, I believe that Blizzard's customer support team uses correct grammar, so when the title reads "Worldofwarcraft Account login", it's bogus. Second, the author thought he hid his email address as Blizzard Entertainment, but his real email address shows up next to it and I doubt you guys are using gmail accounts. That being said, I'll be forwarding all of my email spam to the noob hacker. I've got no love for hackers and gold farmers. Lastly, it wasn't even sent to my actual game account email. Epic /facepalm.
That being said fellow WoW players, just use common sense if you receive an email like this. Blizzard moderators: I took a screen-shot of the email if you guys need more info from this. Thanks and have fun in the game!
