Possible scam using Prime and free WoW items

Community General Discussion

On Facebook there is a sote that is either claiming or is Prime Gaming. They are advising that by signing up or logging into Amazon Prime you can “Enhance your adventures in Azeroth with bonus items for Prime members.” Like receiving one of the store Transmog Helms for free.

The sight looks very legitimate but it could be just a really good fake. If it this is a real advertisement that can someone verify that this is, and if not Blizzard may want to get this site to stop using them to phish for account info.

The legit place is Twitch Prime Gaming…go check there for the xmog. You can see it on wowhead/mmo-champion etc.

Since I can’t post links, I put it in code block. This is the Twitch link:

Twitch Prime has been giving away in-game goodies and entire games for ages. It’s legit.

This is the first time seeing this and was checking that it not just a scheme to get prime membership info. Thanks for the follow up.

It is kinda funny how you instantly thought it was a scam and didn’t even check prime

However, I also wouldn’t trust anything I’d seen on facebook either, so I can understand why

That was why. I see many adds on Facebook showing items that they claim are real and are just knock offs.

I didn’t want to click on any link or give out information if it was fake. Can’t trust anything on-line.

Easiest way to check would have been to go to the Twitch website yourself (WITHOUT clicking the link given in the email, always type web addresses manually when concerned about emails being legit) and check the Prime Loot tab.

I’ve seen a number of ads on Facebook and other sites for WoW illegal gold selling sites and sites offering WoW “leveling services”. I can understand why OP is skeptical.

It’s just Prime Gaming now. You don’t even need Twitch for it. Prime Gaming is just a part of Prime now.

Nice, I guess I never looked at the name change. Now it’s more accessible.

Btw getting prime opens up amazon music.

So happy for that. I can listen to it on my phone! I just gotta find my wireless ear buds.

Twitch prime gaming has always done this. Just yesterday I claimed a ton of free goodies from them.

Don’t forget prime movies and TV shows. Tons of seasons and very good shows.

Plenty of things, currently watching a supernatural inspired anime movie on there where a middle school kid discovers he’s a heir to controlling a legendary dragon who’s meant to kill the demons once and for all and dang its well animated. There’'s Deadpool and Deadpool 2, there’s Top Gun right now available…all kinds of content for everyone.

Amazon Prime:
I really liked “Expanse” though they cut the last season short, sadly. The acting was excellent but you need to forgive the bad science stuff. If you like Sci-Fi and know nothing about the books it was based on, it’s really good. Spouse and I binged watched joyfully.

“Good Omens”. If you have not seen it. Watch it. It is a must, really.
