Suspicious Email

[Nartan]

Hey. Recently i got the same email multiple times. Unsure if this is fake or real. It looks real but you can never know.
Would you please help me?
Thanks for your time.



EDIT:
When replied back jibberish got an email back.

It's a scam, why would blizzard need all the info to take over an account and then ask for it via E-Mail?

[Nartan]

May i ask.. Did you read the email?

[darkwiz787]

Yes, I did. I've also recieved this info from MANY different E-Mails.

Blizzard always asks for any info on they're website not through an E-Mail so that scammers can't do this exact type of E-Mail.

I mean blizzard has such a huge playerbase and makes people pay to play, would they really ask for info through something as insecure as an E-Mail?


Oh, and if you need more proof, I dont even have a retail account that isn't banned, and I recieve this E-Mail. A LOT.

[Nartan]

Actually. The Email is more safer then through an website: Often its an link to an website thats an scam. Oh let me correct my self. its ALWAYS a scam if its a link to a website.

But this is new: The email leads to @blizzard.com
Its probably real. Replyed some random words. Went to the @blizzard.com email.
But thanks for the answer. Il wait for some more.

It's not uncommon to be an @blizzard.com e-mail. I get that E-mail and it replys to @blizzard.com.


As for the Website thing, if you honestly fall for w0rld0ofwracraft.net you deserve to be hacked.

[Nartan]

I dont fail. I scam people. Only this is new. No website to reply on. Only thuss email. Now leave my thread if you have nothing better to say.

[darkwiz787]

I never said you fail, clearly your a good contributor, that's why you have a purple name.

The E-Mail s fake. Idk how they did this, nor will I ever, but I think I can prove it.

It's from a @blizzard E-Mail, but look at the website they linked. Mcafee reported t as an attack site. They spelt Entertainment wrong.

/facepalm .

[darkwiz787]

/sigh

Whatever, go ahead. I only have 11 reputation therefore I am wrong and this E-Mail is valid and you will not get hacked.

This is clearly fake, They used a mass email bomber and they could send a email from ANY email. Meaning they could send you a email from YOUR email if they have it. And of course when you click the button to reply it'll reply to the email they faked.

They pretend to send an email from @blizzard.com

Of course when you click the reply button its going to reply to @blizzard.com What are you expecting it to reply back to if the email was sent from @blizzard

[Warriar]

It's fake. They would NEVER ask for password via email.

[Reflection]

Blizzard employees will never ask for your password.

[Nartan]

Thanks for the answers. Yes i know that they can send emails from any email. Point is that there is no Website to press.. Ehh.. Reason to send this email to me = 0% Win?
Are scammers getting stupid?

Mass Auto Sender = Sends to everyone and anyone, randomly.
