Today I received the following email (I edited nothing except the URL):

Dear customer

This is an automated notification sent from our account security system. You logined your account successfully at 4:17 on May 28th form the 125.22.167.* range, but our system shows the 125.94.113.* IP range exists a large number of hackers. As too many customer complaints, the 125.19.169.* IP range has been blacklisted. We are concerned about whether your account has been stolen. In order to guarantee the legitimacy of your account, we need you check your account status here as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please visit :

http://www.some-scammer-website.com/login/login.asp?ref=https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/&app=wam

Account security is solely the responsibility of the accountholder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives will typically lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play.

Regards,

Blizzard account system
Blizzard Entertainment


Typically I just delete this kind of phishing emails. However, the bolded part caught my eyes: if you read carefully, three DIFFERENT kinds of IPs got mentioned which renders the sentence into complete nonsense.

I honestly don't know what to say. At least make the three IPs the same, if you ask me.

EDIT: Thank you spellpolice.

Sad thing is a bunch of people still get owned by these..

Well, the broken english is kind of a dead giveaway, but I guess the IPs are too.

Well, at the beginning I was curious enough to check my own IP against what it says on the email - that's when I discovered that three different kinds of IPs got mentioned.

Eh, locking this. We've all had tons of extra retarded ones come across our plates I'm sure.
