			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just got this lovely email, pretending to be from Blizzard:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Subject:</strong> Warning : World of Warcraft Account Notice<br />
<strong>From:</strong> <a href="mailto:donotreply@blizzard.com" title="mailto:donotreply@blizzard.com">donotreply@blizzard.com</a><br />
<strong>To:</strong> <a href="mailto:arfenhousetoo@gmail.com" title="mailto:arfenhousetoo@gmail.com">arfenhousetoo@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded.  As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard&#8217;s EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/eula.html">WoW -&gt; Legal -&gt; End User License Agreement</a></p>
<p>and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html">WoW -&gt; Legal -&gt; Terms of Use</a></p>
<p>The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account.  If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.</p>
<p>In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.</p>
<p>To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blizzard.com.login.xml.mcnewvision.com/Refferhttps3A2F2Fwww.worldofwarcraft.com2Faccount2F&#038;loginType=wow&#038;rhtml=y&#038;rhtml=true0check/" rel="external nofollow">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account</a></p>
<p>Only Account Administration will be able to assist with account retrieval issues.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, and your continued interest in World of Warcraft.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Account Administration<br />
Blizzard Entertainment</p></blockquote>
<p>See, the thing is that the first two links go to real Blizzard pages, but the last one secretly goes <a href="http://towww.blizzard.com.login.xml.mcnewvision.com" title="http://towww.blizzard.com.login.xml.mcnewvision.com" target="_blank">towww.blizzard.com.login.xml.mcnewvision.com</a>, which is clearly a moronic phishing attempt.  This leaves me with two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Did they target me as a Wow user specifically by harvesting my WoW-associated email address somehow?  A Blizzard partial hack?</li>
<li>What would they do with my account if they got it?  Sell my lousy lvl 45 char on ebay?  LOL&#8230;.</li>
</ol>
