There's an email going around asking for battle net information. Funny thing is, I don't have one. The email looks like this:

Bonjour,

Nous avons des raisons de penser que votre compte a été compromis : soit par un virus de type Keylogger ou Trojan qui peut être utilisé pour obtenir le mot de passe et le nom du compte Battle.net ou World of Warcraft auquel vous avez accès depuis votre ordinateur ; soit par des méthodes frauduleuses pour récupérer les détails de votre compte via des sites Internet ou emails.

Afin d'assurer la sécurité de votre compte, nous vous recommandons de suivre la liste de contr?le de sécurité que vous trouverez sur notre page de sécurité des comptes:
https://eu.battle.net/login/en/login.xml?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fus.battle.net%2Faccount%2Fmanagement%2Findex.xml&app=bam

Nous considérons que l'adresse électronique attachée au compte est compromise, et nous vous invitons à nous contacter depuis une nouvelle adresse e-mail afin
que nous procédions au changement de vos identifiants de connexion. Nous avons donc temporairement suspendu votre compte World of Warcraft pour vous donner
le temps de sécuriser votre ordinateur.

Veuillez nous fournir les informations suivantes :

- Le nom du compte Battle.net: le nom actuel (l'adresse e-mail) avec lequel vous vous connectez.
- Le nom et prénom : enregistrés sur le compte.
- Confirmation qu'une analyse anti-virus a été effectuée sur votre ordinateur.

Dès que nous aurons re?u ces informations, nous serons capables de poursuivre les démarches concernant votre compte.

Notez que plusieurs incidents liés aux accès non autorisés peuvent mener à des suspensions de compte et à des pertes de personnages, d'objets ou d'or. Tout cela peut être évité en suivant les mesures préventives de la page de sécurité des comptes.

In English (Google Translate):

Hello,

We have reason to believe that your account has been compromised, either by a virus or Trojan Keylogger type that can be used to obtain the password and account name Battle.net and World of Warcraft that you access from your computer or through fraudulent methods to retrieve your account details via email or websites.

To ensure your account security, we recommend you follow the list of controlled? The security that you find on our security accounts:
https: / / eu.battle.net / login / en / login.xml? ref = http% 3A% 2F% 2Fus.battle.net 2Faccount%%% 2Fmanagement 2Findex.xml & app = bam

We believe that the email address attached to the account is compromised, and we invite you to contact us for a new e-mail to
we proceed to change your login. So we have temporarily suspended your World of Warcraft account to give you
time to secure your computer.

Please provide the following information:

- The name of Battle.net account: the current name (the e-mail) with which you connect.
- The name: recorded on the account.
- Confirmation that a virus scan was performed on your computer.

Once we have re? U this information, we will be able to continue the procedures regarding your account.

-------------------------------------------------------

I'm putting this up here because some people may not realize its a fraud. I imagine that you WON'T EVER be asked for this information at any time, but I guess I felt to need to warn anyone that plays WoW that there are folks out to get your info. Don't be fooled and Good WoW'ing out there.

It's nice of you to be concerned, but this email scam has been going on since, you know, forever. While it's possible there are still some people who would be susceptible to it, I doubt you'll find them on this forum.

SSDD. Seen some hilariously bad WoW scams and some reasonably competent ones. This looks like one of the more convincing ones lol.

At one point these threads were at least daily on the WoW boards :D

This is a very common thing, every WoW player with more then 1 active brain cell knows to just delete these.

I get tons of them after having been hacked once. They go to my junk mail automatically now, luckily, so I wont have to bother deleting them all anymore.
