VERY realistic phishing email

Hi,

I just received an exremely realistic phishing email from somewhere in China. Unlike the vast majority of these, this one had pretty much flawless english, the 'From' address had 'blizzard.com' at the end, and most of the links in the email were authentic blizzard web pages on terms of use/security advice.

I didn't even realise it wasn't genuine until I successfully logged into WoW as normal; the email claimed my account had been disabled.

After having another look through it, the 'STEP 2: RECOVER THE ACCOUNT' section of the email has a link that points to a website registered to a chinese registrant. I won't provide the whole URL here, but AVOID any websites ending in 'blizzard.accountconfirm.com'. The URL does look plausible, but it's definitely not a blizzard website.
