Be Careful of this scam! I thought my account was being hacked and almost fell for this!

@Kurt:
I received this and I don’t play – I think its just pot luck.
I got one of these just today; so I am sure another batch is going out. I almost fell for it like you, but I found your website and find it is a scam. My question is how do they know my email address and how do they know I play/played WOW ?
