Very bad WoW scam, but don't fall for it...

Credits to jp_jesus for the note left in the hall of shame.

First of all, the chance of someone leveling your account for free and paying you for it is about 1000000:1, so unless you are gullible you are safe from this. Also note that they are saying that they are sending money to you, having 100 computers and 150 staff members, and they aren't even getting paid for it. These are what you call chinese scammers. They are bad at it, too.

Look for crappy grammar in the PM, then you will see what I mean.

Here is the PM going around, so if you get this kind of PM, please tell us who sent it! It will help greatly.
