The real ones do not ask for your account Password as that information is irrelavent to the investigations they do for this type of thing. I play WoW, I get 2-3 of these a day usually, Worst thing Blizzard ever did was take away personal account names to log on WoW and force people to use their fucking emails, So stupid. Anyways just disregard it and anything like it you get in the future, Fake fake fake. | ||

Well that is - I heard that there are ways to fake that and you need to look at something to know the real address (forgot what exactly though) but I remember seeing it on the WoW forums or so. Best thing is if it ever links to a site or asks for your password or w/e, never respond. Also if you want to be sure then just "manually" type out battle.net and then log into account to ese if everything is okay. | ||

Regards, The Battle.net Support Team Blizzard Entertainment www.blizzard.com/support Online Privacy Polic McAfree and Google Chrome both detect it as phishing, but the funny thing is I clicked on the link (did not login obviously) and it looks exactly like the normal Battle.net site, with create account, account settings, etc. The email is from noreply@blizzard.com, is this real or fake? This is the link it gives you in the email: http://www.battle.net.en-safe-worldofwarcraft.com/login/en/login.asp?ref=https://us.battle.net/account/management/beta-profile.xml&app=bam Chrome and MacAFree detects it as phishing. | ||

Also as for the email - Yep so that seems to be an example of them somehow faking their return address? I'm not too familiar with email stuff but there is a way to look at the real return address but I forgot how. Best thing to always do is to "never click any links in email" and just type things manually. | ||
