    Does anybody know a way to stop it? This is what my inbox looks like every day, and yes, every page looks the same. That's 285 emails. All of those have come within the past 3-4 days.

    I've never gotten that many spam mails in my life! I think 100's maybe but that's about it o.O  
    What I do to not get a lot of spam? 
    I stop posting my email on every fucking sites that has it as an optional thing in the "contact info" page.  
    Seriousle, once you put your email down (in many cases, the email you use to log in to MSN) you're getting spammed a lot. 
    Kinda like how some idiots on here are actually using their emails as a user name.  
    Yeah, I've posted their emails to email-wanting-spamsites =D  
     
    Stop posting your emails all over the damn internet, it's that simple.

    It looks like Blizzard, that's true.  
    But I guess there's a lot of dumb URLs he needs to click in the email that leads to some fake world of warcraft site. 
     
    Man if people go by the names of the "person" who sent the email alone then we're all fucked.

    I didn't see the phishers in the title. I thought you were just complaining about spam from publishers.  
     
    Looks like you're using hotmail, so select all the messages and mark them as phishing scam

    I get a bunch of these e-mails on my old hotmail account and I've never played WoW before. The only reason I can think of them showing up is from playing some Diablo II like 8 months ago. Just glad it's my old e-mail.

    Failing that you can block specific @[insertdomainhere].coms in your security settings somewhere so that they all go directly to your trash. "
    I would block them, but they all come from different emails. I've blocked a lot of them.

    @CL60:
    If you go to the blizzard website it's got a list of the official emails coming from them, all the rest that pop up are obvious fakes & be sure to look at the destination of any html links in those emails as they often say one thing & go somewhere else.  
     
    Easy way to get away from all this spam that I found was to get an authenticator from Blizz, should show up in the mail in less than a week. Once you have the possibility of someone hacking your account is drastically reduced down as your account is tied to that authenticator serial#/readout.  Then once you have that any email about account changes can be pretty much ignored.

    Oh boy someone needs to read up on internet security.

    To the OP... try to get rid of that account if you can, link all the stuff you actually use to a new gmail account.

    I have no problem with finding out whats real, and I do have an authenticator. Getting 300 emails every 3 days from fake blizzard is just annoying.

    A phone? That's weird...I don't remember anything about that. I've had my Gmail account for a long time though, and rarely does anything get through. I'd definitely recommend getting it if you can.

    Oh!  YOU mean GeeMail.  Yeah, that's a scam site set to get your phone number  so they can acquire your personal information.  Jeez CL60, do you find the scams or do the scams find you? 
     
    In all seriousness, it appears that some IP addresses are blacklisted because of previous scamming attempts, thus you're needed to verify.  Sorry about your luck.

    A phone? That's weird...I don't remember anything about that. I've had my Gmail account for a long time though, and rarely does anything get through. I'd definitely recommend getting it if you can. "

    Holy crap, how did this happen? I use Hotmail and a lot of online services, and the most I get is a few emails every week that drop straight into my junk folder.

    Could you just borrow the phone of a friend or would that work...?

    For a second I thought you were talking about the spammers on this site. But then I saw that picture of your inbox and realized that you have a much worse problem.

    Dude, what the fuck is up with that? I've had an account for 4 years now, and I've never got one of these emails on my hotmail account. I think you just need to be careful what you use your email address for, I've only used mine for a few secure sites, whiskey and a few others. I've got a 2nd account I use for any questionable websites, just in case.

    I also have a second account that I never even go on that I use for other sites. I rarely use this email. My other account has thousands of emails.

    " Advice set up a spam email account and have all the real message from bizzard auto forwarded to your email "
    i think that IS his spam account now, maybe he should just make a real email account and leave the spam for his old one.
