Wow Gm - Account Investigation *SCAM*

This scam mail must be extra entertaining to the phishers. I can just imagine them giggling while sending it out. I love any attempt that goes into detail how the phishers are such a problem, it is border line bragging. The URL they attempt to lure you to is
gmwow-apologize.net which is owned by a "heng heng ha ha" from China. His server is quite busy as it runs 64 other sites.



Greetings! 
Recently, the problem of account invasion is getting worse and worse which cause enormous player’s equipments and virtual currency stolen. This severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our company lose a lot of customers. 
Our company has to adopt some measures to safeguard our common benefits in order to strengthen the safety of mass players'accounts, and firmly resist the account to be stolen again.Through our company's research and investigation to xxx customers,we will make the following decisions: we launch a package of updated Battle.net Mobile Authenticator and dynamic code protection card which can effectively prevent the accounts invaded.
