I believe there is a new attempt to get people to give up account info. today on three seperate occasions I have had someone calling themselves GM11 or some other number add me to their battle tags. the first time I accepted thinking it might be a new guildie but then he began to spam a broad cast message that your account has been flagged for unusal activity please go to some site to fix the issue. This is no doubt a scam so please be careful.

Yeah, it's not overly new. I've had them doing them to me.

Well it's the first time I've seen it or heard of it so I thought it might be nice to put up just in case.

should always know that blizz never asks for pws/ect due to they already have all your info in their data base. evenso they dont need to mail u for pws/info if they wanted to bann you n such lol.

id still say the vanilla scamers were better, todays are just pathetic and not even trying

Don't forget that Blizzard GM's have the Blizz logo as well. Normally I just send the "scammer" a nice pm pointing out all the spelling errors, grammar and lack of logo and ask them if they are even really trying at this point. Then I report them and go on my way.
