Okay, so. I was playing WoW all normally and stuff. And I randomly got a wisper from someone...or something? Named "Blizzsantos" It said (Im not typo'ing..this is what it said)

"Hello! Blizzard game system scan to your game account in the remote login, please visit *link removed* to review your account information, or we will suspend your account."

Is this some kid trying to fool me? Or is this legit? Idk what I did wrong to make Blizzard hate me.. xD

I need a quick reply. I don't want to get suspended O_O

If you haven't done anything wrong, they can't suspend you. Probably a kid fooling around. I think there was a way to find out whether an account is owned by a Blizzard member.

Only thing I can think of that I did wrong was. About 15 minutes before I got that wisper, is I saw some Ailliance Mage girl running around in Horde territory. (Im Horde)...So I killed her. xD? I got an acheivement for it..

Report him to a game master for fraud.

That website is not from Blizzard and Blizzard will NEVER contact you in game personally through a gm or w/e, not through whisper anyway (for random stuff) but for things this serious you will get an email from Blizz.

I just hope you remember his name or have it somewhere to report that sob >_>.

Yep, Blizzard will never ask for your account info.

Yeah I didn't reply, nor did I go to the site. When I saw the PM,I wrote what he said on a piece of paper, and came to GS ..xD...Because I didn't know what to do.

it goes for emails as well, people phish in whisper and in email. PS. unless they have the BLIZZ logo beside their name, they're not even from Blizzard.

Blizzard will never ever ask you to follow any link to log in, nor will they ever ask for your account info.

You're not going to be suspended. If you click on the link your account will be stolen though. Might want to log out and read this when you have a moment. Educate yourself a little. :)

Just a suggestion but you might want to edit out that link -- it probably has a key-logger or something on it.

Kinda late to the party but considering the situation (reported as web forgery), if somehow somebody gets a key logger, they probably deserve it.

FRAUD. No Blizzard employee will ever, ever ask for your personal info. Plus, all blizzard sites that DO require you to log in (such as your account maintenance site) are all HTTPS:, not HTTP:

I don't think anyone ever deserves to have a keylogger on their PC. I've met lots of people who has no one to blame for having it there though. ;)

Not necessarily, I got a keylogger for accidentally clicking an ad on a popular WoW website.

Why would OP even link the site......../sigh. If this happens to you via a whisper or in-game wow email DO NOT RESPOND!!!!!!!!!! or click on ANY LINKS!!!!!. If in doubt log in to your battle.net account or contact blizzard directly.

If you click the link it clearly says "DANGER" "DO NOT ENTER", it's red, it's big, it's there, if somehow a certain person "really" wanted to see the website after all that and they'd have problems after, yes that kind of stupidity deserves a keylogger, if you know you don't have the security don't do it.
