Just got this in my mailbox. Looks decent, nice HTMLy etc. I clicked the login link for kicks, and it redirected me to http://eubattlenet.justfree.com/account/support/login-support.html

Greetings

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:
WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account. If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.

To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/authenticate.html

Only Account Administration Team will be able to assist you with account retrieval issues.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, and your continued interest in World of Warcraft.

Awesome!

EDIT: Wow, the login pages etc, are done pretty well! Exact copies of the WoW account and Battle.net login. I can see why people would fall for the scams. But rule #1, never click links in mails!

The thing is in the mail when you hover over it it actually doesnt change the link to the actual one. IIRC it stayed on the legit-looking link until it opened in your browser.

Exactly...I know about hyperlinks...there is not hyperlink in that URL :confused:
 
Pump and dump a lot of bogus login information

I do it whenever I chance upon a phishing mail :D

GL solving that one though
 
everyone with their authenticators turned on to their accounts.... go enter your details in there. Then shoot off an email to blizzard saying to please monitor your account for attempts at entering without the authenticator, and highlight they're hackers. :P
