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 :p

Heh ... on the other hand I must be one of the .5% of gamers not excited about Diablo III :p
 
Hey Shadow I saw that screenie you put on your failbook, the email addy was from blizzard, what was the reply address???
 
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 :p I'm agnostic :D

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

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 :p

With that amount of information, why don't we just report them to some Chinese authorities?

It would be absolutely pointless, I think.

I actually wasn't joking when I said it's a legit occupation in China - there are probably entire companies built around gold-farming. Besides which, they may be shredding game T&C's to bits, but there's no actual laws being broken (well ... apart from the theft of personal data and accounts, but I'm not sure if China has laws that cover that) - so I doubt anything will come of bothering to report it.
