Even though I don't play WoW, thanks for looking out for the community who do play that game.

I have been getting the same Email from them as well.

It's a shame they only send those out for the popular games that have television commercials to advertise.

I try to keep my emails separate one for a game/account, one for forums, some for random sign-ups, and some I actually read! The only account I get these WOW phish attempts from is the one linked to my stratics articles which is viewable on websites.

I did a whois on the url and got a melbourne it host with no email address on their site other than filling out a form. I was going to let them know that someone hosting on their servers is scamming

 

[Assia Penryn]

Thanks for the warning for the community. Be careful folks.

Heres another phish. beware
