I get about 2 or 3 of those a day.

After clicking each link and filling out all the information properly, I regret it because I realized I should have called Paypal first!

You usually only get those if you do have a wow account. I guess what I am saying is that you might have one without knowing it. Just sayin.

^^ Really? I have two WoW accounts. Both of those accounts, I would get emails like that 5-6 times a day. I canceled one of the accounts and all of the emails from that account immediately stopped.
