I'm getting around 30 phish emails a day, from fake Blizzard accounts.
I can't spam filter them because they are using spoofed emails @blizzard.com. I can't even tell which ones are actually from Blizzard.

The ones from Blizz usually have a nice background, either a blue one or a scroll-like one. Plus if you hover over all the links in those phishing mails you can see the real shit addresses.

I bought 10k gold once. Not that it matters, because I were getting these phising e-mails since I made my b-net account.

I'm convinced that battle.net is the issue and that there was a mayor security breach there of some sort that leaked the e-mails, otherwise, those e-mails wouldn't have found their way to me.

Doesn't matter, they send scam mails to EVERYONE.
I get scam mails about games i never even play. I just recently got 5 from fake NCsoft emails, and that wasn't even the email i used when i played guild wars 5 years ago. xD

So, it's not battle.net, it's just people getting your email from somewhere and just sends it to you in hopes that you do play.

And the email i use for WoW is a gmail.com account, yet they send it to my hotmail account. the scammers aren't smart.

All the spam I get is on my yahoo mail which I don`t use for WoW. And I get Aion mails as well there, without playing it, and they are exactly the same. Has nothing to do with Bnet.

Well I've been using my Gmail for 5 years and only started receiving the phish emails within the past week; when I bought a new WoW account.

No, I have several real and phish emails from this address:
wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com

The fake emails are using SPOOFED email addresses to appear as Blizzard.
I know some of them are real because my character violated the name policy and was forced to re-name a few days ago; Blizzard emailed me about it.

I also have many FAKE emails from the SAME address.

They removed their naming policy because people abused it to get free renaming, they did this back in TBC.
Anyway, never ever ever ever click on any links in any emails you get, even if they do seem real or are real, always go to the website by typing it in your browser manually and check for yourself.
Also, i recommend getting a gmail.com account, they filter every spam mail even spoofed ones.

My poor Twaticuss now got a different name. Why do people report names? They should enjoy the darn game.

I'm getting tons of phishing emails in the past 3 weeks or so.Not sure how they know I had a WoW acct,I stopped playing 3 months after TBC came out and WoW aint been on my PC since then.

Even more mystified why I'm getting Aion emails as I bought the game but never bothered installing it and never even made an account.

There are rules for naming your character, so get real and read them before naming your character with stupid names like that instead.

or, if you're having problems making up your mind about the name but still want to play right away, name it something silly and you'll have time pondering until it gets reported and you get a free name change :clap:

If you have signed up to any websites to find out WoW information on gaming or to use their forums, you will get those emails.. They are getting bad for it..
I made a crap email account just for the wow websites, basically so they couldnt find out the one i used for the game. And in the past week, like most people, i get about 3-5 a day.

Gotta love it!

I removed myself from all their forums.. too much BS on them anyway.

No, on all realms obviously. -.^
What i do believe is though that only certain realms will have extended maintenance since a few of the mdidn't have it the last time it was extended maintenance.

Fuck i hate PUGs.
Had a half-guild raid for RS 10 today (5/10 was gmembers) and the rest were fucking retards, died once on the first miniboss, Barthalouz or whatever ,and everyone besides the guild members left. Seriously, it's a new fucking instance and they expect instantwin, really?

Makes me cry...
