Tobold just posted a warning about a new phishing email that purports to come from Blizzard and offers players a jade tiger pet if you fill out a survey. Because you have to type in your Battle.net account email and login at the website set up for this "survey," you are opening yourself up to fraud. After you finish the fake survey a link actually takes you to the Blizzard site.

BEWARE.
By the way, Matticus has posted a screen shot of the fake email. It is very authentic looking but wasn't sent to the right account address, which is a huge tip-off that things are not kosher.

Tobold is European and Matticus is in the U.S. so this scan is all over. I repeat, beware!
