And it begins. We have just received the first expansion phishing scam email. ”You’ve been invited to participate in the World of Warcraft Cataclysm Alpha”. This is just a reminder that Blizzard will never ask you for your account information, and do not click any links in e-mails regarding the new expansion. The phishing email can be found below.
