			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Anna at <a title="Blog: Too Many Annas" href="http://toomanyannas.com/blog/">Too Many Annas</a> for the <a title="TooManyAnnas: PSA - Phishing" href="http://toomanyannas.com/blog/other/public-service-announcement-phishing/">heads up</a> on this scam. This particular one appears to be fairly sophisticated, as documented extensively at <a href="http://snarkcraft.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/wos-psa-bloggers-beware-new-phishing-e-mail-in-the-wild/">World of Snarkcraft</a> and <a href="http://blessingofkings.blogspot.com/2009/03/email-scam.html">Blessing of Kings</a>.</p>
<p>The details provided at <a title="blog: World of Snarkcraft" href="http://snarkcraft.wordpress.com/">World of Snarkcraft</a>, especially, are cautionary: The email address used was one used ONLY by the blog for administrative purposes, <em>not </em>the address associated with any WoW account. The preliminary conclusion drawn at Snarkcraft, with which I agree, is that these particular phishers may be targeting WoW bloggers. At <a title="blog: Blessing of Kings" href="http://blessingofkings.blogspot.com/">Blessing of Kings</a>, you can read the entire email, which advises the recipient about an account suspension.</p>
<p>Word to the wise: ANY TIME you receive an email purportedly from Blizzard (or any other online entity, such as your <strong><em>bank </em></strong>or <strong><em>insurance company, </em></strong>for example, <strong><em>DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS </em></strong>in the email. Instead, log into the site and go to your account settings. Anything you would be emailed about, will be found there as well. Financial institutions generally have a “Messages” link or something similar. If in doubt, phone the customer service department.</p>
