It's a scam. Bliz will never ask you for your username and password. And it's easy to 'mask' the real address with a fake one like they've done using [email protected]

 

[Shirou]

Though it would be a scam scammers getting good at this, but asking my details just did not sound right.

 

[Nerfherder]

Haha....

Hi we are Blizzard, we have your username and password already but wont you email it again to us ?

laterz !

 

[biena]

Hi there this is Blizzard

Please email what you think your username and password is, we will then login and check if it is correct.

PS: There is an account fee attached to this service

"Employees of Blizzard will NEVER ask you for your password or account name"

dude

IF YOU GET A BETA INVITE : they will ask you to log in, into your account on the site. they will never ask for details.
i got a scam email once aswell, stupid guy kept spamming me WOW details needed even though i only play sc2 and d2 etc etc. so i sent him a little something in return :

he then kept spamming me more lol but i set my mail rules and have been fine since then.

Who else got excited for a moment when they read Diablo 3 beta invite?

 

[Fudzy]

Somewhere east of here, there's a little gold farmer who is sad their scam failed. I wonder how they got your address? Most people would be confused about this thing called "Diablo 3"

 

[nuerotronic]

I received the exact same email.
Seriously.. you've gotta be F#####G Stupid to fall for this one...
