Talking The daily phish

Haha, you all know it!
The 5 emails a day you get about your WoW or Aion accounts you never knew you had getting banned for something you never did.

I do love the English skills they use, it always gives me a good laugh
This is probably my favorite so far:

Hi
This is Blizzard Entertainment's apology, we acknowledge a mistake, for you to lose the World of Warcraft account in order to recover our losses, we will give you 10000 gold coins free of charge and rare mounts a (celestial steed), I hope you can restart the game. Login website authentication, 48 hours you will receive compensation
To date, this is the best one I've gotten so far.
~all links removed, because I'm sure someone out there...

on a side note, notice the use of the singular "I" near the end of the statement. as in, "I" hope (you're dumb enough to believe this). not "we" hope. lol.

/edit
I completely missed it...
"in order to recover OUR losses" not YOUR...wtf lol.

Don't worry...

If you're feeling that left out, I could give you some of mine. I've got plenty to spare...

I used to get a ton of them (and a ton of laughs) but somehow they stopped. Is there a website that I can go to and fill out my e-mail address, so I can get back on the distribution list for WoW phishing e-mails?
