Phish Email

I received the following message today (which is similar to some other phishing messages I saw on this forum today). A few things to note about it, though. First, it was sent to a non-Battle.net email address. Also, the return email was spoofed to show "Blizzard Entertainment" as the return email address (yes, that is the EMAIL address for return, not this name of the return contact). Also, the link they posted is clearly NOT right...and mousing over the link showed the link goes to the address as posted in the email.

Without further ado, here it goes:
