Wed, 05/26/2010 - 9:44pmHmm...they stated "greetings" but I don't see them actually greeting you. It's a bit like a chef coming up to you and saying "full!" without actually preparing you food, don't-cha think?

Tue, 06/08/2010 - 7:42amI just checked my Gmail spam and there were like 40 emails from Brizzard in there in the last month, they just don't let up! One of them was actually pretty well written and if I didn't know that A) Blizzard doesn't ever delete accounts and B) Blizzard doesn't ever ask you to log in to verify anything I might actually, you know, think twice. >_>

Fri, 07/23/2010 - 10:19amThey're getting better! This one was written by a veritable Shakespeare of phishers. You'd think they'd pay closer attention to things like capitalization and abbreviating random stuff like Battle.n instead of Battle.net. I guess they trick enough rubes that they aren't worried about the fact that they forgot to capitalize the name of their product.
