WoW letter scam

This is pretty much the exact same thing as Xepher's original post but a few things to make it so that it works for US realms...

AND HOW TO FIND VICTIMS EASILY...

The Email Addy:
Follow the exact same instructions as Xepher's except for the name on the email address, put US instead of EU.

How to find people: (this works for EU as well)
-Go to markeedragon.com
-click search on the top(ish)
-find the forum that you want to be searching in the list (either WoW account buy/sell EU or US or WoW account trading EU or US) and search for "email"
-this will come up with a load of threads with "email" in it.
-More likely than not these are in the original post, with contact information in it, to contact the owner of the account
-Now that you have your email address for your victim, now its time for the letter

THE LETTER: (just changed the bottom part, got rid of the EU info and put in the US info)

Greetings!

It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your
personal World of Warcraft account.

your account.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment takes these sales
quite serious. We need to confirm you are the original owner of the
account.
This is easiest done by confirming your personal information along with
concealed information about your account.

email.

* First and Surname

We ask you to NOT change password until the investigation is fully
completed.

k say you actually have a hold of someone's account. so wat now? if u change their password they can just g do the secret quetsion thingy, and if you try to change the account contact info crap, you need thier email and email's pw. so wouldnt it only work for thier items and gold and not hier account?

Hello again!

My name is Mark, I am with the Blizzard Account Review and Administration Team here in California. I would like to assist you in understanding that this is a real blizzard email, but tell me, how may I do this?

Also, please note that we still need conformation that you are infact the owner of this account. This is so we do not punish the wrong person while in our inspection of the subject account that was trying to be sold.

If you could please fill out the form we have sent you, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please inform me on any other questions you have about the subject.

Regards,
Mark Edwards
Account Review and Administration Team
Blizzard Intertainment

Thats what i sent, hope it works.

first time posting but, first two people to respond kinda said fuck off, although the one response I got actually made me laugh enough for me to not care, also I used the image that somebody else posted for the letter for this scam and modified it to reflect a US text photobucket link
