I have been getting these emails 2 to 4 times a day for last 2 months and you know whats the best part about it?

I don't even have WOW account. lol

I got one too but me they said that they suspect my account to be sold and they asked me to give all my personal information even my password and the cd key to be sure i was the owner of the account and if i didnt give them my info i will be banned.

Seriously did they fool people like this?

Looks like someone is really desperate and just sending these emails out like crazy, regardless of whether people have WOW account or not.

Another fake e-mail i receive, saying i have been chosen to participate in the close beta of Cata, and i ned to log in to the link provided with my id and password... Delete it straight away...

The main issue is that they have your actual email account. Cracking a email account is not that hard. The amount of protection that we use to play WoW is pretty amazing.
