I have been recieving TONS of Bnet phishing e-mails in the past few months. Near thte start of December, they actually looked somewhat legit (even though i already know Bnet won't e-mail me unless i tell them to). Recently though, they have become incredibly bad grammared / plain stupid.

Here is one that I got in December:

Now, compare that to the one I got today:

Is it just me, or are they getting more and more retarded?

Haha it says "Bnlizzard". Do you play WoW? I know this is a widespread problem for people who play that game.

I'm getting at least 3-4 of these a week, Outlook doesn't display hotlinks, but the hotlink and then the actual link.

I still don't get what they want with this, one can always retrieve the password or retrieve the whole account (WoW Characters, game subscriptions) via Blizzard support.

Greetings!

Recently, the problem of account invasion is getting worse and worse which cause enormous player's equipments and virtual currency stolen. This severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our company lose a lot of customers.

Our company has to adopt some measures to safeguard our common benefits in order to strengthen the safety of mass players'accounts, and firmly resist the account to be stolen again.Through our company's research and investigation to xxx customers,we will make the following decisions: we launch a package of updated Battle.net Mobile Authenticator and dynamic code protection card which can effectively prevent the accounts invaded. We will send this package of code protection system to players free of charge.

Please open this connection: http://itunes.apple.com/app/battle-net-mobile-authenticator/id306862897?mt=8 (do not click this for the love of god)

If your account passes the check successfully, we will send this package of dynamic Battle.net Mobile Authenticator to you in the form of e-mail.

In 3 days after you receiving the e-mail, if you don't submit your information, we have right to freeze your account, every player is obligated to protect the safety of the account. You must work together with us to be determined to crack down all the behaviors of destroying games.

If you had already authenticator your account, please disregard this automatic notification.

Regards,

The World of Warcraft Support Team
Blizzard Entertainment


This was the last one I received, like 5 days ago. The thought of people falling for this is....disturbing to me.

Just make sure your spam filter checks for words such as "battle.net", "Blizzard Entertainment", "world of warcraft", and you will be instantly spam free.

I just sent a contact e-mail to blizzard explaining my distaste for their ability to prevent phishing, as well as reporting several e-mail adresses. It won't do much itself, but hopfully they will get rid of the e-mails i sent in.

Edit: I got a message back from them pretty quickly, which is good. This was the message:

Greetings (my name),

Thanks for bringing these to our attention. We very much are engaged in what can at times seem like a never-ending battle against these scammers. What makes it all the more difficult is that they will not only copy the format of Blizzard emails, but they can and oftentimes do mask an email address, making it seem like a message is being sent from a legitimate Blizzard address when in fact, it has not been. You can forward such emails to us at hacks@blizzard.com if you continue to receive them, that would be greatly appreciated. We have recently seen an increase in phishing attempts which pose a real threat for account security. As a friendly reminder, many scams will ask you for your password, which is something Blizzard Entertainment will *NEVER* do.


So, you guys thing this is the truth or they are just bullshitting to stop my whining?
