Blizzard Sends an in game Whisper?

Help!

This was just received moments ago: (I did report it to a GM)

"Blizzlucia whispers Dear World of Warcraft players, blizzard system scan to your account insecurity, please log the safety net , or else blizzard will stop using your account's rights in one hour . Certification of warcraft user information site << removed >>"

Thank you, I will keep playing and disregard this, the biggest red flag was the in game whisper and of course, the numerous grammatical errors.
