Getting weird emails - Blue Tracker

#0 - Sept. 20, 2010, 1:09 a.m.

Ive been getting strange emails from "blizzard entertainment" almost every minute since 6 am. The emails contain other peoples email addresses; as in not sent to me... every single one is to a different email address. idk what to do but i keep getting them, and i do not like it. Idk if im trying to be hacked or what, but what do i do to get them to stop.

this is what the email looks like:

Im just curious if anyone else is getting this or has had this happen before. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Q u o t e:
just an fyi on the situation- my google accout WAS apparently hacked... thanks to google for realizing that i couldnt have been in the states one day, and then in South Korea & Japan simultaniously the next day. So be aware... I really wish there was more Blizzard could do about all this bs....

Well, we do our best to educate people on security issues - and phishes, Gal.

I'm not sure what else we can do, given we don't send those and it sounds like they came from a malicious source in South East Asia.

If you have any recommendations on that - I'm sure our developers would love to hear about them in our Suggestions Forum.

Q u o t e:
i dont mean to sound rude or anything. Its just that i do not give out information to anyone, so idk why this would have started. Also, its happening to other players http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=26859148309&postId=268566423000&sid=1#3 ...

They send those to any and all emails they can get ahold of.

They also send them out randomly - by the millions. It just so happens since you DO play WoW, you know what they are talking about :)
