Spam message stole 2500 gold from me.

Today I logged in and I found a message that stated this : "Dear Player Lordaeron! The administration of the server is grateful for the support of our project and in gratitude gives you 2500 gold and a chest with rare artifacts". When I opened the mail and then checked my inventory I noticed that 2500 of my gold have been stolen. So my question is... HOW THE **** IS THIS KIND OF SCAM EVEN POSSIBLE ????

it's a COD scam. when you take the items it takes your gold. try reading the popup next time.

There was no popup, Im 100% sure of that.

almost positive there's a window that comes up asking you to confirm you're sending said person 2500 gold. will check here shortly.
