lold. this is why i love gmail, it warns noobs that rape is inbound (i've had similar emails)

micropage7 · Dec 23, 2013

yeah, you need to be careful reading mail and glad you realize its scam

DF is BUSY · Dec 23, 2013

HAH, you would think sender would be smart enough to have a more "legitimate email" than lucifer03x09

It lacks some google translations.

This gold and proper equipment are involved in trading, is playing the same game client. Battle.net compromised enough that our games are all based on the policy can not go against the spirit of the game. We very much you have any hacks, Cheats, bots, or with the avoided Dariganga. Used or CHEATS and hacks that players start using punishment and prevention.

I used to get scams like this quite often a couple of years ago but then I made a Gmail account for my blizz account alone and I have not had one since

Basic e-mail address spoofing trick. The oldest in existence. I can send you an e-mail that will look like i'm Bill Gates and that i'm sending it from Microsoft. Every 5 year old kid can do that lol...

yeah, it would work for anyone who dont read it carefully
some people would worry if they got e-mail like that and dont realize its scam

RejZoR · Dec 23, 2013

Well, i for one wouldn't be because i don't have a Blizzard account so i can't do all the horrible things they say i did

GreiverBlade · Dec 23, 2013

i get scam mail about wow diablo III and other on my hotmail account... and none of those games are linked to that mail ahahah ...
tho on gmail where i have all my account linked : no scams since i created it.

OnePostWonder · Dec 23, 2013

In case anyone missed it (I think some of you picked up on it), I was being sarcastic - "they almost had me...at herro." I didn't make a point of circling it in the PNG, but the "Satanaeru" username and "lucifer03x09rafaeru.samaeru" Gmail were a tad off-putting.

I just ALWAYS assume it is a scam myself, and never open the mail.

How?

INSTG8R · Dec 24, 2013

Meh I get them all the time for games I have never played or owned. They all end up in my Junkmail along with "Your anonymous relative/dead prince/etc. left you Millions"
