Hey there, Millionair! As your fellow posters have noted, the email you received is not official correspondence from Blizzard Entertainment. It's a phishing email, and its goal is to glean information from you that can later be used to compromise your account. If you're willing, please go ahead and forward this email onto [email protected].

You might also want to take a look at the following resources to learn a bit more about phishing emails including how to identify, report, and sometimes even prevent them:

How to Identify Fake or Phishing Emails

http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=25133

The first link contains a whole bunch of examples of phishing emails in current circulation, so if you ever receive a suspicious email that appears to be from Blizzard Entertainment, you can always go and compare it to that list.

The second link will walk through you all the steps to identifying whether or not an email is legitimate. It also includes what you can do if a sending email address looks like it's from "@blizzard.com." In many cases of phishing emails, these sending addresses are "spoofed," or made to look like they're from someone they're not. It's a very tricky technique, but there are ways to find out what the actual sending address of an email is.

Hope this information helps you! If you still have any questions, though, just let me know. :)
