Scammers never quit, they just get more persistent. In an effort to help combat scammers, Blizzard released a new announcement about a recent increase in 'Spoof Emails' that scammers are using to try and obtain your personal information. This trick is getting pretty old now folks, don't be one of the few left that still fall for it.
We have recently seen an increase in the number of "spoof" emails players are receiving that are attempting to steal account information. These types of emails often appear authentic and usually request your login name, security question/answer, AND password. Please keep in mind that official Blizzard Entertainment emails will always come from a blizzard.com email address and will NEVER ask for your password.
For further details on this issue and an example of a recent spoof email that we've seen, please visit our forum post.
