World of Warcraft email!!!!
 

Hi, I just received an email from wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com, however the return address is: olivierodeurs@hotmail.com
This is what it contains:

The thing is I don't have or even play the game, I certainly don't have an account there!:hmmm:
Any ideas on what I should do?:oops: Just found that the above link actually goes to http://www.worldofwarcraft.sv2-wow.com/
I would take caution on clicking those links.:oops:
Thanks.
Edit: There are 2 genuine WoW email addresses below that I could use to reply.
billing@blizzard.com
wowcommwatch@blizzard.com

Scam - as if the broken "Eeeeen glish" wasn't a tip off...

How people even thing that stuff like this would work is beyond me.

I would contact Blizzard directly with a copy of that email attached.

Hi, my name ie Elvis Mugabe from Nigeria. I was playin WoW too, when I noticed your character dropped a winning lottery ticket. If you send me fifty dollars I can mail this ticket to you.

Send cash, as we do not have banks in WoW in Nigeria.
Please send the money to:

Steed
345 Gordy B St
Nigeria, Africa

^ Poor Steed!!:haha:

I will send an email to Blizzard, they may no the guy from the return email address or something!:hmmm:
Edit: email sent.

I get alot of them and i own a WoW account, I always reply back with 'good try mate next time dont use a Hotmail.com account'. :DL And still they keep coming as hotmail.com accounts :roll:

I never played WoW. I always thought it was damn funny listening to grown adults (older that 35) arguing over who's elf was tougher:har:. And the best part is, they are dead serious.

My elf has 85 hit points and will kick your wizzards ass.

Oh yeah, well my garden gnome has a pet dragon and he'll eat your whimpy elf.

oh yeah! well my [ continue arguement for the next 2 hours]:har:

:har: Yeah ive been there a few times :oops: Damn you blizzard :damn:

Okay, so here's the match-up:
Aussie elf vs Kiwi Elf:

Fight!:salute:

Well I imagine we sound crazy discussing the T-34 vs. the Sherman or the Type IX vs the Fleet Boat. :hmmm:

... naw you are right they are crazy... :O:

I've never played WoW so I'll draw upon my MUD days:

>north
>Idaho Russet Elf limps in from the south
>look

Elf Combat Room (Aussie vs. Kiwi)
--------------------------------
Exits: northeast south

[krashkart not want write room description right now]

You see a pile of elf giblets here.
You see a rusty elven scimitar here.
You see a corpse of Reece here.

>get giblets
You take a pile of elf giblets
>put gib ALICE pack
You do not have a gib
>put giblets ALICE pack
You put a pile of elf giblets in a ALICE pack
>look Reece
a corpse of Reece has been here a bloody long time
>look in Reece

You find:
2 Australian dollars
a pack of gum
a ball of pocket lint

>take all Reece

You take a 2 Australian dollars from a corpse of Reece
You take a pack of gum from a corpse of Reece
You take a ball of pocket lint from a corpse of Reece

>sac Reece

You sacrifice a corpse of Reece to the moderators. Onkel Neal gives you a pat on the head and a Diet Dr. Pepper.

>say Anyone else here?
>emote frowns
>sit

You sit down

**************

And now I await the battle

Yeah, but that's stuff that actually matters!

Edit: And for the record, it's Fleet Boats. :D

Well after a few weeks of grinding for the 'No beer for Aussies' spell once i use this on an aussie elf they would turn tree huggers for life. Of course since we have no airforce we would be stuffed if they counter attacked with goblin flyers. :rotfl2:

I got one a while back from a group of Soldiers in Iraq...

they were trying to give me 25,000,000 dollars... I sent them a very angry return email, because I investigated their unit and found it to be a group of wartime photographers. They picked the wrong kid to spam e-mail. I did it again with some nigerian thing and for the last 3 months I've been spam free...
perhaps you should tell them that "if they know your e-mail address they should find your home adress so you can kick their [expletive deleted] in person"

worked for me:D

I once got one from a Cosmonaut on Mir the old Russian Space Station...
:o:haha::nope:

From Reece corpse to Krashkart: Decompose... Stink... Pew!!:haha:

Score one point: Team Krashkart:har:
