Damn YES!!! I am trying to sell my WOW Account! An account that doesn't exist!!! Morons!!! :@ :@
 
Its a scam. Been getting those for over a year now. I love whoever thought of the 'prompt before hyperlinks are activated' feature in emails.
 
same with me,i get it on my hotmail but it dutifully goes in to spam folder.

so just block it and forget it.

Its https://sea.battle.net

A phishing scam for sure...

Edit: Nope looks like genuine, seems someone would be using random emails to register etc...

^^ But doesn't blizzard have a account verification system in place where one has to verify the email address before the account is activated?? :@

The mails go to my spam folder by default but still, I wanted to know how they managed to get a @blizzard.com mail id and managed to spam me!! :P
 
its easy to fake a 'from' address...you only need your own mail server

same with the links, i bet they have something else anchored to it
 
I think its not phishing

couple of reasons,

1.When logged in with randon id/pass combo, it shows

An error has occurred.

This e-mail/name combination does not exist.

2.The website is battle.net .

However best option would be to get the email verified from blizzard support ids.
