WARNING: Jade Tiger Phishing Email Seeks Battle.net Info

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!

WOW Insider also mentions Big Red Kitty's article for them about using Power Auras.  Here's the direct link to it.  Note that BRK's movie is gone from WOW Insider and also from BRK's blog.

There is a video download link on his blog, though.  You might still be able to download it.  I didn't test this.
