    I've been getting emails every week from a firm called 'Blizzard' which says I have an account to do with something called 'Diablo III' (is this some kind of washing up liquid) and that I have been trying to sell this account!? I am perfectly satisfied with Lidl's washing-up liquid (Tesco's is rubbish). However I am led to believe that far from getting the grease off my pots and pans, this Diablo III is a computer game! I emailed the english language information email address to let them know I was not the proud possessor of a Diablo III gadget and could they please stop sending me threatening messages. However, my junk email folder is still getting these messages. Has anyone else had anything like this coming through, and how to deal with these pests?

    If this isn't a phishing scam I shall buy myself a hat and then eat it.

    Putting the lack of an account to the side. Blizzard don't do threats. They just lock and let you know it's done.
