Greetings,

This is an automated notification regarding your World of Warcraft account. Some or all of your account information was recently modified through the Account Management website.

*** If you made recent account changes, please disregard this automatic notification.

*** If you did NOT make any changes to your account, we recommend you verify your information via the link below as soon as possible to ensure account security.


** Please verify your legitimate ownership of the account here:

https://us.battle.net/login/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fbattle.net%2Faccount% 2Findex.html


At this page you will be asked multiple security questions to ensure that you are the accountholder.

Account security is solely the responsibility of the accountholder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives will typically lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play.

You'll be taken to a screen that is identical to https://us.battle.net/login/login.xml?ref=https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/menu.html&app=wam

Don't be fooled! Its an attempt to get your username/password. I almost was, but I checked the address.
 
Hahaha. Hahahahahahahhahaha... I left a rude message in the username/pass :D

I wonder how they got your email though
 
I've seen similar setup's for ABSA and Standard Bank for phishing. Nowadays I always check the url when getting unexpected mail with links.

Problem is I'm very weary when it comes to banks, wasn't expecting it for WoW!
