Be aware of scammers

[Algamish]

Hi everyone,
I just want to remind you all to constantly be aware of those who will attempt to steal your information and use it to their own benefit. This is a fairly common occurrence that most World of Warcraft players are familiar with but it seems to have been translated even to our forums here. I received the following message this morning via private message from "TheBuddy", which is quite honestly a very obvious attempt to steal information. Be aware of this kind of thing and do not fall for it!

Default Authentication.

The above mentioned user, TheBuddy, was banned this morning by Nesox here: (http://www.thebuddyforum.com/support-issues/33047-scam-attempt-via-hb-pm.html#post349553). The warning still applies though of course for the future. Messages like this will never come to you via private message and should be reported.

THE BUDDY TEAM WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD.

if we wanna make a change we have server access, so theres NO Reason EVER for us to have your password.

People still fall for the same thing in the wow phishing emails as well.... pretty silly considering if you actually read them, the grammar is terrible and normally the spelling is just as bad.
