    I have received an email (it was in my junk mail and didn't know) about 10 days ago from Blizzard....Battle.net????

    I have never played Diablo 3 or WOW.

    They only game I have on my M18 R2 is Crysis 2 (Steam version).

    I don't have a Battle.net account....that I know of...lol.

    This is from the email and SCARES ME.....

    Greetings

    It has come to our attention that your account is involved in illegal transactions. As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement



    Geez, I have only had this beautiful M18 for 2 months.....have I already been hacked....spyware....???


    There are some links in the email, but for now I will not click on them.
    Please help guys this makes me nervous...

    Don't worry it is just a random phishing attempt, ignore it. It's the same if it seems to come from your bank/paypal/ebay... Usually you can tell because the links almost look like the real deal but redirect you to a fishy website.

    It's the same phishing emails from "UPS" and "USPS" begging you to open the "link" to print your shipping label that is hidden inside a zip. :err:

    Yeah, I get a bunch of them for WoW, which I've never played lol. If you hover over the link for battle.net, you'll notice it's redirecting to a .tw or something website.

    Got one last week, but for Guild Wars 2 and it was saying that my arena.net email was changed. Silly phishers. I don't even play GW2.

    Although I wish I did play GW2 =(

    +1. And while I used to play before, they sent the email to my other address which isn't connected to the game.

    silly me falling for that for 3 times, then after resetting passwords, i just block that sender.
    another that keeps harassing me was Runescape.
    don't fall for them like i did.
