I haven't had an account for three years or so, but I like reading the spam I get from fishers. I think they Hired George Lucas to write their email.

Greetings!

Recently, the problem of account invasion is getting worse and worse which cause enormous player's equipments and virtual currency stolen. This severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our company lose a lot of customers.

Our company has to adopt some measures to safeguard our common benefits in order to strengthen the safety of mass player's accounts, and firmly resist the account to be stolen again. Through our company's research and investigation to xxx customers, we will make the following decisions: we launch a package of updated Battle.net Mobile Authenticator and dynamic code protection card which can effectively prevent the accounts invaded. We will send this package of code protection system to players free of charge.

Please open this connection:
Link removed to protect the stupid

If your account passes the check successfully, we will send this package of dynamic Battle.net Mobile Authenticator to you in the form of e-mail.

In 3 days after you receiving the e-mail, if you don't submit your information, we have right to freeze your account, every player is obligated to protect the safety of the account. You must work together with us to be determined to crack down all the behaviors of destroying games.

If you had already authenticator your account, please disregard this automatic notification.

Regards,

The World of Warcraft Support Teams

I get a couple of those emails a day even though I only played WOW for a whopping 2 weeks 6 years ago. I'm guessing they have collected or hacked email addresses from forums such as this.
