In the list of fishing attempts, this is a new one. The next big thing from blizzard is the new WOW expansion Cataclysm. And the spammers/phising people is not long after trying to come in on this to. So now you are offered a Beta key. Hurray. But its a fake and will only steal your accounts of you go in there.

This is a very stupid mail. First of all – why would blizzard use bingdi-znoe.com as a domain name?
Secondly the adress is spelled wrong – with 2 .com in the end so the link is not working.

If one checks out bingdi-znoe.com this is what the whois is saying:

  1. Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your site in internet explorer, would check this… IE still is the market leader and a large portion of people will miss your magnificent writing because of this problem.
