What the hell is this? Some new sort of scam?

Ahoy, MMOwned! :wave:

Long time no see, eh?

Very well.

So, I have an email adress attached to my Live Messenger (ORLLY?), and it keeps spamming me with mails from [email protected] with random email adresses! This email adress attached to my Live Messenger is not the same email adress as I have attached to my wow account, but it says its from [email protected], to the random email adress I get! WHY THE HELL DO I KEEP GETTING THOSE EMAILS?!?!?!

I got currently 1700 unread messages now. They are growing fast!

So I decided to just copy one of the messages I got

It is gold scammers trying to get your account information they have had more and more of these growing. Remember a blizzard employee will never ask you for your password.

I had similar attacks not too long ago, and since you reminded me, I checked my hotmail. My hotmail attached to that account has 8569 e-mails from these gold scammer attacks. The only way I found to get over it was to just make a new e-mail.

Haha, yeah - it's just a scammer trying to get your account information... Needless to say, the method works like a charm. Good thing you didn't fall for it!
