But on a more serious note, after the thousands of warnings from all sorts of companies to never give out your passwords... if you fall for this then you probably deserved it hahaha

What?!?! 0.o You mean it's not real?!?!

Oh noes ... and I was so happy!! Cos I was so awesome that I got a personal invite ... and I totally gave them the details to my non-existent Battle.net account. Which I hope they enjoy trying to get into

Heh ... on the other hand I must be one of the .5% of gamers not excited about Diablo III

Hey Shadow I saw that screenie you put on your failbook, the email addy was from blizzard, what was the reply address???

[shadowfox]

Addy's read as follows:

From: diablo3 ([email protected])
reply-to: [email protected]

Almost seems like it could be legit. But yeah ... if you see an e-mail asking for your details and password you should have huge gonging, monastery type alarms going off in your head.

That and the complete lack of branding.

I agree with Simon

Got 3 of those mails so far
Replied to one asking why a blizzard employee would need my password, got me a nice Nigerian broken English reply

0.0 I'm not a heathen, you religious fanatic I'm agnostic

Although I do feel slight pangs of religious fervor when GW2 gets mentioned ... you'll have to forgive me my double standards

Well ... apparently gold farming is a legit job in China - and you know how cutthroat the business must be ... these blokes need to stay on the cutting edge
