    Do people actually fall for these?

    So i decided to check my spam folder for once and found this:

    Code:
    Greetings! 
    
    Recently, the problem of account invasion is getting worse and worse which cause enormous player's equipments and virtual currency stolen. This severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our company lose a lot of customers. 
    
    Our company has to adopt some measures to safeguard our common benefits in order to strengthen the safety of mass player's accounts, and firmly resist the account to be stolen again. Through our company's research and investigation to xxx customers, we will make the following decisions: we launch a package of updated Battle.net Mobile Authenticator and dynamic code protection card which can effectively prevent the accounts invaded. We will send this package of code protection system to players free of charge. 
    
    Please open this connection: 
    (was a link here, i removed it in case anyone here is dumb enough to click it) 
    
    If your account passes the check successfully, we will send this package of dynamic Battle.net Mobile Authenticator to you in the form of e-mail. 
    
    In 3 days after you receiving the e-mail, if you don't submit your information, we have right to freeze your account, every player is obligated to protect the safety of the account. You must work together with us to be determined to crack down all the behaviors of destroying games. 
    
    If you had already authenticator your account, please disregard this automatic notification. 
    
    Regards, 
    
    The World of Warcraft Support Teams
    
    
    Blizzard Entertainment
    And im like "omfg LOOOOOL, do people really fall for these still? O.o"
    Do you know anyone who has ever fallen for one of these fake mails?

    Of course people fall for these. Eg. someone with no internet experience who got convinced to play World of Warcraft, like someone of age 40+, not to mention 13-year olds who then show this mail to their parents who know **** all about spam and are like, "just do whatever".
