Hey...now i just started playing WoW again since i got my new computer...and before i started playing ive always gotten emails from "blizz" saying my password was changed blah blah blah even if my account wasn't active...but lately ive been getting emails, that looked pretty legit, saying i got 7 days free WoW time...before i even reactivated my account with the time card i bought at EB games...i clicked the link blah blah blah...then entered my time card code and started playing...today however i got another free 7 day time... i thought to myself "whoa! awesome more free time!" so i clicked the link...it asked me to log in...now ive been trough this before and i know the drill...i looked at the URL and it said "us.battlz" so right then and there i knew it was a scam and changed my password... now my thread is ment for two reasons... 1. To find out if blizz actually did send out legit free time and the first one i did was good... and 2. to warn people, and blizzard, that hackers are getting smarter and more realistic and will hack you even if your account isn't active... blizzard wont ask you to log in... hope this helps anyone and maybe blizz can find some way to prevent this from happening other then the authenticator which i recommend to EVERYONE
