Scam email from "noreply@blizzard.com"?

#0 - April 7, 2009, 8:35 p.m.

I just got an email from [email protected] saying that my account had been under investigation for trading and selling, which is ridiculous, but anyways one of the links it said to go to to "verify I am the owner of the account", when hilighted, you could tell it lead to a random different site (probably a keylogger).

Anyways, I deleted the email, but I'm just wondering... isn't @blizzard.com supposed to be official blizzard emails? How did I manage to get a scam email from "[email protected]"?

Ohh, ok. That makes sense then! Wow I was confused because of it, I didn't realize that it was easy for them make it look like it was coming from them.

Thanks. :)
