WoW Insider Show Episode 93: Avoiding the scam

[TalonBot]

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/turpstermydad.jpgOur podcast was so much fun last Saturday that we went even longer than usual -- this week instead of the usual hour, you get nearly an hour and ten minutes for your download (and all for the same low, low price of free!). Robin Torres and Lesley Smith joined Turpster and I to talk about what I did at E3 last week (meeting Michele Boyd (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/04/wow-com-meets-michele-boyd-of-the-guild-at-e3/) was definitely a highlight), the new Druid forms (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/02/new-tauren-cat-forms-revealed/) and how they look, what's new in the game with 3.1.3 (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/01/world-of-warcraft-patch-3-1-3-going-live/), and some recent player achievements, including Ensidia's big win (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/03/ensidia-gets-world-first-25-man-algalon-kill/), and the no-deaths character (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/04/achieved-level-1-to-80-with-no-deaths/). Plus, we talked with Robin about her recent scam experience (http://www.wow.com/2009/06/04/beware-of-blood-elves-selling-mounts/), and how you can avoid having something like that happen to you in the future. One quick note: during the show, we guessed that Blizzard would never ask you for your Authenticator passcode, but that's not true: they do require you to give it to them when you sign in on their site. But our other tips are valid: if you make sure that you're the one typing the URL in to "blizzard.com" or "WorldofWarcraft.com," then you'll never have to worry about any sneaky sites grabbing your name and password.

And of course we answered your emails as usual -- if you have any movie posters to send in to us this week, you can send them along to theshow@wow.com. Enjoy the show, we'll see you next weekend.
