How to identify phishing emails

[zippy]

I am getting loads of these. Found this link on Blizzards tech support site:

Check your email headers. Big hint: if it's from hotmail or sent from outlook express it's probably dodgy

Note: even if the email is from @blizzard.com it could still be spoofed. CHECK THE HEADERS

how do i know that its a phishy email? well, because it goes to the wrong email account. funny thing is, I apparently also play Aion and Eve online. go figure

Even if the email says 'www.wow-europe.com/account' or what not, take a careful look where the link is going.

If it looks bogus, then flag it as spam
