The worst thing is, I dont even have a WoW account.

Anyone else getting these phishing emails every other day from scammers? Is there any way to make it stop (or humour them and wind them up?)

Happens all the time just ignore them and put on blacklist.

got a whole bunch a while back---think it really funny since I have never played nor ever INTEND to play another game besides gw.....I read them, look for the grammar mistakes and then hit the trash can button--->rim shot!

I got one of those a while ago. Funny thing is, I do have a battle.net account (made it when my friend gave me a trial key for SCII)...but it's not linked to the email address I got the scammermail at.

I think everybody with an email account has over 9,000 of these in their spam box.

Actually no, I have never gotten any of these mails. I've had tons of "help me transfer money" mails, but never this kind.

Ignore, bin.

So has anyone gotten the email purportedly from BLIZZARD asking about your GUILD WARS account? Definitely a facepalm moment.

I've had many an email from Blizzard (who I have no games from) telling me of an account violation. In hotmail, I get a lot of em, one kinda p'd me off, so I sent an fbomb ladened reply, next thing I know I get a a bank letter one, asking me to remedy my bank account (in a bank I'm not a member of I might add). Is it just me or am I rude in assuming these people have faces you wouldn't get tired of punching?
