As you can see, all of the links but one are legit. And the phishing page has all of the right links. So keep an eye out for that one

Awww, they were doing so well until: "- If you did not make this transaction, you should immediately check your account to prevent character lost."

 

 

I don't recognize any of those links haha.

[Calax]

The links look official because of the battle and Blizzard and warcraft in the urls. But the thing is that it'd never be battle.warcraft.com or anything, it'd be either battle.net or worldofwarcraft.com

 

Still, seems more legit than before.

12 hours after buying starcraft 2 digitally from blizzard my credit card was hijacked and now i've had to cancel it and begin the process of recovering my stolen money.

 

go blizzard.

Sorry to hear that, that's pretty fricking annoying :/

 

During the past two weeks, just counted this, I've had 9 different emails from "Blizzard" and their various different "departments". And two different emails from "NCsoft"-support about Aion, wich is really interesting since I've never ever used or bought Aion.

Was it actually Blizzard's fault?

Yeah, the identity theft might not necessarily be "recent". About a month or two ago, I had to recover $5000+ from credit card abuse. Since it was a card I rarely use (actually, I've only used it once during a 6 month period) I had an idea where it got copied (a hotel reception, a month before the hijackers used it).

It's actualy fault of not using linux box for monetary transactions on the web
