I got the following email today and when compared to the other emails I've received it looks like it might be legit, but you can never be sure. I did do a search but couldn't find anything like this. I did try to call billing but they're swamped and not accepting new calls at this time. There are a couple of things that bother me about this email - the missing 'is' before involved and the missing 't' at the end of entertainment. I removed the link just in case it is a bad one ( I also have not and WILL not click on the link.

Email received today:

Q u o t e:
Sorry for tying up the forums. A friend told me to check the header of the email (i forgot i could) and sure enough it isn't from Blizz. I'll be forwarding this one to Blizz asap.

Thanks :)


Thanks, Dragonesse! Just to confirm, the address you're forwarding that email to is [email protected], correct?
