WoW Gold Facts

Look what popped up when I was flying in Icecrown a couple of hours ago.



This sort of spam is getting (bleeping) old. But I wonder if there are people who have actually fallen for this trickery.

I checked the site given by the spammer. Kids, don’t go there, please. It’s a deceiving replica of the official WoW login page. Go spot the difference.

And this is the impostor:



The bastids just won’t quit! Just when things got quiet for a week in the game, here they are back again offering their "surprise gifts" to players.

"They’re after our gold and gear and (bleep)," said Cletus. "I bet those (bleep)ers are doing that ’cause they don’t have enough gold to sell."

I suddenly dread to think that in the past I may have purchased from a site that gets its gold from stolen WoW accounts. Oh the humanity! Just thinking I may have funded a bunch of crooks is enough to make me pull the trigger.

"Isn’t it such a coincidence that right after the holiday of a certain nation, we’re suddenly getting all these whispers about a free surprise in the game?" laughed Remus, who was half-drunk trying to get over a nasty break-up. (Three days into the relationship and the chick realizes she’s bisexual and wants to "explore other options". That ain’t gonna sit well with Remus’ ultra-conservative Catholic parents.)

"Hmm, well that’s food for thought," I said.

"Any suspects?" said Cletus.

My lips are sealed. Lawsuits are not in my wish list.
