Anyone get any weird emails from Blizzard Entertainment? It might be hackers.

I've gotten 2 very weird emails from what appears to be Blizzard Entertainment in regards to my WOW account.
Thing is, I only played WOW for about an hour. And it was around 3-4 years ago. I tried a free trial offer.

Then about a week ago I get an email saying I'm in trouble because they caught me trying to "sell my account." I replied basically saying: IDK what you're talking about, I only tried the game out briefly a few years ago.

Then today I get another email from "Blizzard Entertainment" saying my IP has been banned or something...then I noticed a spelling mistake. Kind of a big one too. But I clicked on the link anyway because the address they're using for contact looked legit.

Then some sort of warning popped up basically saying that this was a reported site someone set up to mimic Blizzard, and basically gtfo.

Just warning you guys. You get anything from "Blizzard Entertainment" don't trust it.

There's a reason google throws it into my spam folder: it's not from Blizzard. I mean, I don't even havea WoW account and I keep getting messages that 'Blizzard' suspects I'm selling my account. I mean, really :lol:? Target your audience better.

I get about 5 a day in my junk folder and I've never had a blizzard account. It's false, been getting them for over 5 years

I did think it was real. The @blizzard.com part should only be available to Blizzard...right?

It's phishing scams. Doesn't matter whether or not you play or have played the game, they will spam you because they have your address. I get ones for Runescape and ones for HSBC bank and I've never played Runescape or even stepped foot inside an HSBC branch.

Yeah my inbox used to get spammed with them until I combined into G-Mail and started filtering the emails that appear in my inbox. It started happening right after I gave my email to wowcurse and when I created a WoW specific email address (not used for anything but my WoW account) and signed up for wowcurse with it I started getting scam emails again.

I'm pretty sure the company is selling the email addresses, I just don't see any other way the gold farmers could get my email address. I haven't touched WoW for a long time though and havent seen any weird emails for a long time.

Been getting them for about a year or two now.I never played WOW I am sure of that.

I've got a few. I knew it was bullsh*t as I've never even played World of Warcraft.

they make for a gread read, though.

Yes. I got the same exact email. I never played WOW in my life.

i wouldn't trust it, put on your spam blocker for your e-mails just in case
