Ok, not sure where to post this, but mods PLEASE put a front page post about this. I was minding my own business just farming herbs, and I get a message from a toon "Wowbizzusa" telling me I'm a lucky players. (Please note the improper english......). It's telling me to go to a site **** . Now I'm smart enough not to visit such a site, but I know some people out there would be like whoa, I better go there.... I went from my phone (haha *****es!) and it's looking for, you guessed it, username and password. I put in bogus info, and it then asks you to "confirm" your email address, and secret password info..... So please please PLEASE mods put a front page post! I've hopefully attached the screenshot......

Why would you repost the url?

It automatically linked it. Whenever I post a website, with the www part mind you, it auto links it. So, in hindsight maybe quickly edit out the www part so it doesn't auto link it.

No, don't post the name at all.

To others: Now would be a good time to review "how to know a Blizzard site" and "how to know a Blizzard representative."

Do be careful when going to sites like this. Some sites (even if you post useless info) can harbor malware, spyware, and even click jacking* on the pages.
I know you were just trying to check it out, but you might want to make absolutely sure you weren't hijacked or installed anything.
