Hackers are putting on another big push, if you have not gotten them yet here are some e-mails that are coming out.

Oddly enough I only started getting them when I had contacted Blizzard support for another issue.

This kind of phishing will always find someone that takes the bait.

Luckily I've been reading the loading screen tips for 4 years and know that Blizzard will never ask for my password, safeword, or forgiveness.

Easiest way to remember if it's a phish or not is to realize blizzard won't talk to you and ask for anything before they ban the shit out of you. :dance:

Haha yeah. A warning?? Through email?? No ways.

They ban you first and then you have to find them and beg.
