So, even though I haven't played wow in 6 months, I still get plenty of emails trying to get me to go to random sites so they can get my account info.
This is the latest I've gotten... See if you can spot the fail.

BTW: Links do look legit in copypaste, but in the email, they actually go to a different site.
