    I get around 50+ scam emails everyday, I had to scrap my old email and create a new one. What I noticed is if you hit more info by the senders name a lot of them are from Sina.com

    I got an email from wowaccountadmin(AT)blizzard.com. They said that they had proof that I have sold my account (something I've not) and claims a bunch of information about my account. I was almost fooled, but when I saw they requested my account password and CD-Key, I knew they were fake.

    I mostly have been seeing "account password changed" emails interspersed with "you're selling your account, you naughty Wow player, give us your info." I'm waiting for a few months to see more of the Cataclysm alpha/beta notifications to start circulating. Any other unique ploys folks have run across?

    I wonder if someone at MMOwned got access to the emails of some of our members, some how.

    I've been getting this too, and only to my email that is associated with these forums & arena junkies forums.
