Too Many Attempts Warning No.68‏ *World of Warcraft SCAM*

Finally a different mail has arrived. Now the scammers are claiming somebody has tried to hack my account and it is now locked. This seems somewhat believable considering I talk to phishing mails all day. Lets login to restore my account and see how it goes.  Right away this does not look good, the address bar says blizzard.warcraft.info-review-management.net. Lets see who owns this site, oh look its our buddy "feng feng" from Zhengzhou China the same guy that owns at least 149 other domains. He is probably willing to sell you some gold too if you managed to not get hacked by him.

After you have secured your computer, check your e-mail filters and rules and look for any e-mail forwarding rules that you did not create. For more information on securing your e-mail account, visit our Support page.
Step 3: Restore access to Your account
We now provide a secure link for you to verify whether you have taken the appropriate steps to secure the account, your computer, and your email address. Please follow this site to restore the access to your account:
