Tis the season for the scammers.

It's that time again for the scammers to try to trick unsuspecting people into giving out their World of Warcraft account information. I've received at least five such scam emails in the past week. The latest from wowaccountabnimn@yahoo.cn follows (note the poor attempt to copy the wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com email address, and the failure to mask the real account.) Also, the email entitled World of Warcraft - Potential Risks is sent to multiple users (Blizzard NEVER sends mass emails regarding account information). General word of advice when receiving such emails. Procede wih caution.
