I recieved this email yesterday which attempted to scam me from an account 4 days after Kent EvansII ([email protected]) had contacted me via email pretending to be interested in the account. The email was sent from [email protected] (like blizzard needs to use hotmail right?) and was a very poor attempt at scamming but regardless; keep your eye out for these types of scames. The email was as follows:

thats not real.

They will never ask for any of your information over an email.

They will either ask you to call them or just a donotreply email.
 
Lol not only are they fake because of the asking for your info and the hotmail but the scammers have been using the exact same writeup for a few years now, they need to come up with a new one...
