Hey just so you guys know, I recieved an email as follows:

+ Show Spoiler +
Blizzard - Realm Transactions IllegalSaturday, July 10, 2010 12:30 AMFrom: "wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com" <wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com>Add sender to ContactsTo:My email Greetings!

We are very sorry to inform you that your account occurred in the number of illegal transactions in a very long period of time. We have not received any complaints about your transactions. But if other players send complaints about your account to us, we will permanently ban your account.

So we have issued this warning letters to you. You should go to the account management website to check your account status as soon as possible (https://us.battle.net/login/login.xml?ref=https%3A% 2F%2Fus.battle.net%2Faccount%2Fmanagement%2Findex.xml&app=bam), you can also find them here.

This is a fake email that many of you might have gotten, that leads to a fake website that takes your password and ships it off to whomever. Don't fall for it, it could be behind alot of the random stealing of accounts that have happened recently. Just wanted to warn people that this wave of account stealing stuff is out there. Good luck everyone and don't fall for emails like this.

This is a VERY common practice called phishing. It happens all the time, so you should learn to recognize it.

If you fall for that, you deserve to have your account stolen.

I know that's supposed to be a phishing attack, but how do they expect to steal accounts by giving the actual address to the battle.net login? I just did a compare between me typing in battle.net and clicking on "Create or Manage a Battle.net Account" and it yields the exact same address as in that email (using software to compare the text incase my eyes were deceiving me).

I get mails from "Blizzard" every day and it's getting annoying. Just check whether the link points to where it says, mostly it's to some misspelled adress like wolrdofwrcarft-accoutn-admin.com or so.

Oh I was always getting the emails too, but the link would always point correctly to battle.net or blizzard.com. I just realized I set my email client to prefer text versions of an email, so I always got a clean link and was confused.

Yep, I thought this was rather common knowledge nowadays to distrust e-mails asking you to login to your account. And to always check the links included in such mails.

If you copy the link they give you and copy paste it into the box or anywhere (if you put it in the box, don't press ENTER), you'll see that it's a fake website. I get maybe 2 a day. Ignore them all.

I get hundreds of these in my spam folder every month. If you've ever had your email accessible on a Blizzard game forum anywhere chances are the scammers have picked it up and you'll start getting these emails.
