Sawed Off

Hey all,
I have been getting many emails like this and wanted to let everyone know that if you get a email that seems like it is from Blizz, just go to the site. DONT CLICK LINKS.

EDIT: You can forward these fake emails to HACKS@blizzard.com

I spaced out the URL in the quoted email b/c I didnt want it working as a link.

You got ONE!!?? Hell's Bells! I have gotten two dozen with a wide variety of "From:" addresses. If Blizz has something to discuss, they have my telephone number. I ain't answering ANY of these nor clicking anything. (Don't ask how I know for certain how nasty these things can get.) <Groan!>

Heh. They go to such lengths to get the copyright to look good, they forget about grammar in their main paragraph.

Yeah, I get several a day, sometimes as many as a dozen. I pity Blizzard if they actually try to reach me by e-mail now.

(And this is a great reason to have an e-mail just for your gaming needs, incidentally.)
