Possible Phishing - message

#0 - Oct. 15, 2010, 9:52 p.m.

I was whispered in game by Blizzfa that I was in violation of my account standing and that I should go to <removed> in order to deal with it and not get permanently banned. They identified themseles as a GM. Sounds like phishing to me. Let me know if there is a problem. Thanks!

We as Blizzard employees would never whisper you in game requesting you visit a website, Elosia. Please report these players by right-clicking on their name and selecting “Report Spam”.

If you continue to receive whispers and would like to know if it is indeed from a Blizzard employee, familiarize yourself with the following Knowledge Base article:
