Recently, I began receiving emails from the “World of Warcraft Support Team.” I’ve received four in total, all asking me to go to different URLs to verify my password and account information. What a load of scam ridden spam! Below, you’ll find a cut + paste of the first email I received (I removed the URL).

I tried to send this reply:
That’s hilarious, I don’t even play WoW. ><
I hope no one is foolish enough to fall for your scam.
Merry Christmas jerky.
But alas, the MAILER-DAEMON is the only one who responded. Please be aware of these rapscallions…!
Since this post was written, I’ve received 2-4 of these types of emails EVERYDAY. That’s what I call dedication…! If anyone who sends account phishing emails happens to read this: quitting would be prudent. The “market” is oversaturated.
