Scammers are posing as MMO-Champion and whisp people to tell them that they won a spectral tiger mount or something like that and ask them to claim their prize on a website. <b><span style="color: red;">This is obviously a fake where the only goal is to steal your account</span></b>, I felt like I had to warn people about this one since it's using the site's name. <br /><br />I think this is the first time a fansite is used in a scam and MMO-Champion is one of the biggest out there, but this might be extended to other fansites as well. Just be careful and remember that you should <b><span style="color: red;">never give your account name or password to anyone, and never type it on any website someone linked to you</span></b>, the only place to type your password is on worldofwarcraft.com, wow-europe.com, or battle.net, and only after YOU typed the URL in your web browser. Ultimately, you can just buy an authenticator from the Blizzard Store if you really want to feel safe. <br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/july/mmocscam.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></div><div align="center"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/july/mmocscam2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></div><br />Again, we're not running any contest (and probably never will because I hate having to exclude EU or US people just because of legal concerns on contests) and if someone try to get your login and password in-game report him to a GM as soon as possible.
