I know this is a scam, cause Blizzard will never ask me for my password. =D. Just wanted you to know it has @blizzard.com on it. (Unless there are some crazy invisible characters in there).

The "From" field can be spoofed, so don't trust it that much.
Please forward the email to hacks@blizzard.com with full headers.
