WOW: new type of email scam
 
Just received this one:

Quote:

Greetings,

We are writing to inform you that, unfortunately, we have had to temporarily suspend your World of Warcraft account and place a final warning on it.

We have had a problem in our database, it is possible that it is an error, in this case enter in the following link and follow the form:

https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/?ticket=WB-532580-JHfvy5yMPThayjPYmoyR

Investigation Concluded: 05/02/2008
Type of Violation: Involvement in online trading activities
Consequences for Account: Account suspended for 72 hours, Password Reset and Final Warning issued.

It is with regret that we take this type of action, but it is in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game. After your suspension has expired, you will be able to access the World of Warcraft servers again.

To protect the account security, we have also reset your password and issued you with a computer generated one, which you will receive in a separate e-mail. You will be able to change this password at your leisure, using the Account Management feature on our web site, located at: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/

Your password will be sent from [email protected]. If you do not receive it after one hour, please add this address to your email address list so that it is not rejected by any spam filter you are using, and reply to [email protected] informing us that you have not received the password.

Please do not disclose your new password to anyone, including Blizzard staff, or change it back to one of your previous passwords as this could result in your account becoming compromised.

Please note that should any further violations of our Rules and Policies occur, this will almost certainly lead to the permanent closure of your account.

We strongly suggest you review our current Rules and Policies to avoid further action in the future, they can be found at:

Regards,

Account Administration Team
Blizzard Entertainment Europe

It's not new, already got several mails of this type...but this is certainly the most sophisticated one I've seen so far...too bad that they waste their potential on the dark side.

I got a "Suspected Web Forgery" message in firefox.

It's simple phishing, what's so sophisticated about this?

CrkMStanz 02-07-2008 05:39 PM

Couldn't you just... log in to your account and see it isn't suspended ?

(not YOU specifically ... but, anyone)
