Got a thing in my mail from a player named "Auctionhous"
With a subject named "Auction has sold successfully."
THIS IS A COD DISGUISED AS AN AUCTION HOUSE SALE FOR 10G.
EVERYONE WATCH OUT DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THESE SCAMMERS.
THEY DISGUISED IT ALMOST PERFECTLY.
I AM ADDING THIS TO MY LIST OF HARASSMENT / MAIL SYSTEM ABUSE POST HERE AGAINST 2 PLAYERS : https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=3654

so, nostalrius, are you blizzlike or are you not?

Theres an official thread about this now, please let this thread die.

Glad to see that the GM's are at least conversing with you about the various issues and complaints you've had.

Thanks ;)
For safety I disabled my AH_MailCollect too, to avoid auto-accepting scammers mail
I suggest everyone not using addons like this, at least for the moment. :/

Are people using different language clients when playing or do they really click "ok" on the "accepting this item will cost ___" prompt
