Be careful out there, targeted phishing scam

Post by lessem » Fri Aug 26, 2011 6:24 pm

I received a WoW related phishing email to the unique email address I gave wowhead. It looks pretty good, because most of the text appears to be cut from an ad for the winged guardian mount. The sentence "we will be complimentary seat to the 5,000 players." (sic) kind of gives it away. Oh yeah, and the link to us.battle.net.account.battled.tk, and that it went to my unique wowhead address, not me unique battle.net address. By the time I had an opportunity to follow the link the site had already been closed down. I guess I wasn't one of the 5,000 players.

Yeah, I've been getting those. Also to my wowhead email! I've gotten I think three in the last week and they've fixed some of the spelling errors in the more recent ones.

(BTW, if anyone lacks custom email for every account, I highly recommend sneakemail.com - always know the source of the spam leak.)
