Be Careful Of Diablo 3 Phishing Scams
Diablo 3 is in the Beta stage of testing. Many of us are awaiting the chance to find a Diablo 3 Beta invite waiting for us in our email. Scammers know this and will try to steal your Battle.net account information. Here is an example of a Diablo 3 phishing email I found in my inbox today.
Obviously anything asking for your account name or password is a phishing attempt designed to steal your account information. While there is nothing to steal from your Diablo account, which doesn't exist yet, gaining access to your Battle.net information now would be useful down the road once Diablo 3 releases. Another thing to remember is that stealing your Battle.net account information gives access to all of the Blizzard games you have signed up for.
Stay smart and stay safe! Protect your account information from phishing scams.
