If you want to successfully hack accounts, I’d recommend you take a course in English 101.

Recently, the problem of account invasion is getting worse and worse which cause enormous players’ equipments and virtual currency stolen. This severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our company lose a lot of customers.

The chances of an English speaker falling for this crap is roughly 1 in 100 billion… possibly less in the current environment.

I would have to give this phishing e-mail a score of 5 out of 100. And I only give it a 5 because the basic idea of playing on the account holders fear of being hacked is a sound one… but the shoddy execution simply destroys the effect completely.

[NOTE: This post is meant to be in jest. I am obviously not advocating that phishing scams should be perpetrated in any way, shape or form. I have already forwarded this e-mail to the appropriate authorities in the hope the listed site will be shut down. That being said, if you happened to fall for this particular scam, you might want to keep that information to yourself, as I will not be able to resist the temptation to openly mock and humiliate you. Good day.]
