I used to get random-*** WoW emails, a friend used to be a WoW GM, so I had him take a look at it, I reported it to Blizzard, as he advised, and a Blizzard rep replied with some canned response, despite the fact that the emails seemed to be leaking user info.

EDIT: I, too, have never played WoW.

Hmm odd because those websites aren't fake sites... You sure someone didn't just use your e-mail address to make an account? o.o
The ones I got also referred to real sites, they were some cancellation emails with RL name included.

Damn scamming ***. My WoW account was actually hacked a month or 2 ago (I don't know the exact time since I didn't play for awhile). I got all my stuff back, but it sucked ***. It only took a few days to have my stuff back though, Blizzard handled it quickly.

I just looked on the wow forum and they have a tread on this also. Just don't want it to happen to us.
