Scam? Or just stupid

[Jonzjob]

I have just had this e-mail. I don't have and never had an account with these idiots. The web address is what it appears to be and I am tempted to reply telling them to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. Anyone else heard of these clowns before please?

Yeah its a scam.

I recognize the Diablo iii part from looking through my spam folder the other day. From what I can tell its an online gaming account or something . They are obviously trying to hack peoples accounts but you don't have one and neither do I . I suppose they just fish the net until they get one .

Hi John

If you google it I think you'll find it's a scam. I saw one recently regarding a game "Warcraft" I think.

I get about a dozen or so scam emails from these guys every week. Fortunately my email system recognises them as scam and dumps them into a separate folder for me to delete at my leisure.

Whatever you do - don't ever reply to any of these scams. That will only confirm that your email address is a valid one and increase the likelihood of getting more.

No chance that I would reply, but it would be lovely to shove these thieving gits heads just where that sun don't shine :evil: :evil:

I always ditch them.

It has all the hallmarks of a scam. Maybe the scammer just forgot to replace the genuine web address with the fake one.
