World of Warcraft - Account Investigation‏ *SCAM*

Here is a new scam mail claiming you have been caught using hacks/cheats in World of Warcraft.  Clicking on the link in the mail takes you to www.worldsofwarcrafts.com. This domain is pretty tricky and Blizzard really should have bought this one since it is so close . The actual owner is Wang ShanShi from Guandong, China. Wang is waiting for you to "login" so he can then login to your real account and empty it, then use it to spam other players in game or sell your character. Be warned and do not fall for this scam. Happy raiding!

Please refer to the start of this mail:

Your account is being risk because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack." These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harms the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and supersede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, Please visit the account verification platform to comfirm it at:


The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://us.blizzard.com/company/legal/index.html. Note that additional Terms of Use violations may result in more severe actions against this account, up to and including permanent closure.
