 		What you actually got was more likely a malformed phishing message which your client didn't interpret correctly. I took the mod liberty of breaking the URL in your post, because that's all that URL is. That message body can be fairly easily found, with similar URLs, on forums for WoW referring to a repeated phishing campaign.

But thank you, I've actually been getting messages like this for aboou 15 months now, I never figured out why they thought I had a WoW account though lol.
