Well, it might be, but probably not if you get a whisper like this one:
[Pnhsnip] whispers: hello!
[Game Master]GM: Your world of warcraft account has been temporarily suspended. go to [keyloggingsitegoeshere]
I’m sure none of our
readers would fall for such a thing, but you can’t say you weren’t warned. Remember, if it’s really a GM
not only do they get a nice
blue blizzard logo next to their name instead of just “GM”, their chat with you will automatically open in a seperate window. I believe you also get a popup notification that a GM wants to speak with you.
If all else fails, use common sense. If there was a problem with your account why would they log in and find you in-game to tell you?
This has been a public service announcement, helping you defend your stuff.
Cheers to all the people in trade today warning about this crap on alliance-side.
