I got mine lol
The language skills are amazing!

"When you receive this message at the same time" ... perhaps they mean messages, so this doesn't apply to me. I have to wait until I receive two messages at the same time. Is an email considered a message? Perhaps I should check my MSN Messenger.

I have never received a single attempt at phishing.

Not a single one.

Ever.

Account Security FTW.

I've never had anyone attempt to phish my GW account, but I get plenty attempting to get my WoW account.. It's just a shame I don't actually have one.

LOL, my inbox looks similiar to the above screenshots. I get at least 2 or 3 dire warnings per day that my WoW and Aion accounts are going to be deleted soon. Of course, I don't have any WoW or Aion accounts so I'm not losing too much sleep over it.

Not had a single phishing email for ANY online game or website sent to me. I've played several (though not as many as most) different games. I find (from observation and speculation) that the people receiving these emails are using poor choices in the websites they use and the places they provide their email to.

Like Kumu I haven't received a single phishing email in any of my email accounts. Making smart decisions when giving out your email is key imo.

Anyways, I get a fair amount of WoW attempts, and Aion, because I registered with one of the fansites that got totally hacked into. Awesome........considering I don't own Aion. I don't believe I have received any 'from' Guild Wars. Anyways, any email containing Chinglish automatically means scam, phish, or something nefarious.
