What i wonder is how they get our email addresses in the first place. On one of my older email addresses i got scammers trying to take my imaginary WoW account they think i have. They pretend to be blizzard and say “We believe your account has been compromised. please log in here” and they give a link that looks legit but if you click on it you notice in the address bar of your browser your at some weird free website. Seeing how i only did the free trial of WoW, 4 years ago, and not even with that email address, that alone lets me know it’s a scam. Then they started doing the same thing with aion. I never even played aion before lmao.
