Today I checked my e-mail and found a mail from wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com

Dear customer,

You logined your account successfully at 13:14:02 on 2010-10-4 from the 144.195.32.27, but our system shows thisIPisn't your registered IP.

Please visit our Account Security website to learn how to secure your computer from unauthorized access.

scam guy



(Hyperlink removed just in case someone actually clicked on it. It appears as a Blizzard site but actually links to some stupid fake Blizzard site. I didn't bother visiting the scam site though).

Seriously, the dude is full of fail. Spacing errors, logined (lol) and the funny thing is, I don't have a WoW account. Never had one.

I wonder how did he get a @blizzard.com for his e-mail address though.

So let me get this right...The prince of Nigeria is wanting to help protect my WoW account and in return he will give me $1,000,000?

I just recieved the exact same email, same ip, only fifference was when I last "logined" my account.

I initially stopped reading at "logined", butwent over the rest of the message for grammar errors.These scammers sure are stupid.

And I really doubt Blizzard would go around looking at players ip addresses to see if one individual has been hacked. They would just wait for someone to report it.

He doesn't have a @blizzard account...you can program an email to say whatever you want for the sender.
