I've had a couple of weird emails the last couple of days:

I can't even remember the login details for these accounts, so no idea how I'm supposed to sell them... Of course, they could just be phishing. In fact, looking at the details they are asking for at the link they provide, I'm pretty sure they're phishing. Still - they must have hacked these sites to access the email addresses surely?

No - CBA. I don't give a shit if they close the account or not. It was set up for a trial month of WoW several years ago. And Runescape can fuck right off too.

It's suspect that they both arrived on the same day, with the same wording. As far as I'm aware, Blizzard has nothing to do with Runescape, which is made by a company I nearly got a job with in Cambridge.
