Emails have been sent out from a site claiming to be a "character transfer" verification. The email is from a user called "WoWaAccountadmin" or something of that nature.

Do not click the link. So far, Lhuurssa and myself have been targeted. Stay safe, don't go to sites you don't know and get an authenticator!

Just posting this here to let others know.

There's a very simple rule I live by - don't trust ANYTHING that comes in an email regarding any online game account.

If it doesn't automatically get marked as spam by my GMail (it's very adept at that, by the way), and it has links, I look very closely at the URLs. Those are dead giveaways, and learning to scrutinize the URL before following it will immensely help your security.

Yeah, don't trust them.

Somehow they're getting that info, and kinda scares me as to how.
