Is the text in a GM chat window Blue or Purple by default? I know there is a Blue Blizz Icon in their name.
As long as the blue BLIZZ sign is there, you know it’s a real GM. If not, then you already know to right click and report. Other than that, I don’t remember the last time I actually spoke with a GM in the game to remember the color of the chat.

Found a blue response on the EU servers

Also, you cannot report a Blizzard employee. So if the option to report is there, they are not an actual employee of Blizzard.

I know that, I was just wondering if a GM text is in blue. Been seeing a lot of “fake” screenshots of GM chat windows.
I just found an old conversation from 2013. Here is a screenshot of mine:

GM chat also pops up in its own window - it won’t be mixed in with text from the world, it is in its own pane.

This is from an guide I made back on the old forums. I’ll put it here for reference.
Follow these tips to help spot whisper scams.
1) Watch for bad spelling, grammar and punctuation.
2) True GM’s will never link to websites for verification purposes.
3) True GM’s will have a special indicator that they are attempting to contact you in both the chat box and the upper right of the screen:

4) True convos with GM’s will open their own, separate, uniquely named chat window:

5) True GM’s will have a unique, blue “Blizz” graphic preceding their character names and messages:

6) True GM’s have self chosen character names, not “Game Master” or “Blizzard” or “Administrator”:

7) You cannot report a true GM. If you right-click and the option to report is there, it’s a fake… so report it!
