I think there might be a new scam going on for those of you that play WoW.
I just got an email from "wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com" that read as follows.

Slight problem though. I don't play WoW. Never even done a demo. There is no account that "Blizzard" would ever be refering to.
So if any actual WoW players get this, you might want to be careful about it, it sounds like an account phishing scam to me.
Hope this helps!
