Question about a suspicious email

I got an email lately saying an attempt was made to change my account email address and told me to go to [removed]

Definitely doesn't seem like a legit link but I'm just curious.
It also came from donotreply@blizzard.com.

Is it a phishing site or is someone actually trying to hack my account?

Thanks in advance.

As a couple people have mentioned, Soldure, the best way to identify a phishing scam is to read the headers - they'll tell you exactly where the e-mail originated from.

If you're unfamiliar with how to do so, we have a good support article on how many of the most commonly used e-mail providers display full headers, and how to read them.
