At first, it seems as though this comes from Blizzard as, without seeing the e-mail details, it says it's from [email protected]. When I clicked on details in my gmail it said it came from hotmail, and the contents of the message were obviously not from Blizzard, as they would never EVER ask for account details.

If any of you see this, don't reply. It's a scam.

This thread is regularly updated with the latest email "scam."


EDIT: With regard to the first post that states, "If you determine that you have received a fake e-mail, please forward the e-mail to [email protected]." If you're familiar with how to include full headers for the email you received, our investigation team would appreciate it if you included that - though not necessary.
