Phishing Emails(1)Category: Technical SupportOctober-20-2013 3:06 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
Ok I don't care if this is the pace or not but I'm posting it here any way as there isn't a ticket option available!
Every single week I get the following e-mail! I'm not trying to sell my account it's only a starter I don't think it would be worth the trouble... Now I know this is not actually from Blizzard.. How ever since it is impersonating them and targeting there consumers they should have a certain responsibility to sort it the !@#$ out.
Every one I receive I mark as a phishing scam but that has done absolutely nothing!
Being a big company that you are I'm sure you can take action against the imposter noreply@battle.com
Here is a sample, I would surgest not to click on any link:

We share your frustration Ezorus and we definitely take every opportunity we have to stem this scourge. But unfortunately it's not that simple, much larger companies and organisations than Blizzard have tried and failed and will continue to fail whilst-ever the public fall for such emails.

Therefore, we feel it is much more important to educate our community and arm them with the knowledge they need to game safely and identify the potential security pitfalls.
