Okay, so general warning:
There is a virus going around that locks out your PC with either a page accusing you of viewing peado sites, and demanding you pay £100, or just creating a white screen at startup. My ex has just suffered contacted me about this and asked my help, hence why im up at this hour (insert sleep deprivation induced chauvonistic rant about women and computer foul ups here) and ive managed to provide her with some help. For those others worried about it, help to remove it can be found here:

Eerily along the same lines, I just got one of those warning emails about how I have been caught trying to trade/sell my Blizzard account , even though I don't currently and never have had one of those. Wasn't that supposed to be some sort of phishing scam that went around once or twice?

Yes it is. To date, any time I open my spam and junk mail folder, it will contain about 75% WoW account notices. I have never had a WoW account.

Believe it or not some people will make accounts accidentally using the wrong email so you get a bunch of junk notices. I can't tell you how many emails I've gotten for a Deviant Art account and a Facebook account that aren't mine.

The demanding money thing has been going round for a while (I apparently enjoy watching child animals enjoying intercourse with humans). I've ben able to delete it with malwarebytes, downloaded in safe mode with network connection, which might work for this one, too.
All joking aside a friend of mine was telling me about something similar and he said that everything was going to be okay because he paid the money.
Needless to say I was somewhat speechless until I facepalmed, very hard.
I think you should ask your friend some very serious questions if he paid money in response to being blackmailed for having searched for certain materials.
ive gotten 2 spam emails both also sent to many other people. someone had an email of mmorpg so I suspect that it came from a game website. ive been a lot more conscious of what I make an account for now, does anyone know of any hacked or leaked accounts for any major game or gaming website?
