Every so often I get an in-game whisper from some variation on the spelling of Blizzard... The one I just recieved was from Bliezzard.. and it said "Hello. To thank you for your support of World of Warcraft. Blizzard will be giving your horse a celestial steed. Recieving please visit << removed >>"

Due to the poor english, and terrible grammar I believe this to be a scam, is Blizzard aware of this?

Q u o t e:
Yes, they are aware. You can report any messages of this nature by right-clicking the player's name and selecting the "Report Spam" option. This will send along a report with all the necessary information and place the player's entire account on your ignore list for the duration of your login session. =)


Correct!

These malicious parties also send scams via email, and you can learn more about them here:
