Sounds legit right?
Almost.
Now look at the screenshot below. I moused over what appears to be the official World of Warcraft URL, but take a look at the address that appears on the bottom bar:
It reads "http://www.worldofwarcrnaft.com/" (DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!)
"warcrnaft"? Ha!
Fake! Fake! Fake!
You miserable thieves.
Spread the word, folks, and protect your fellow players from this latest scam!
