I did not fall for this as I knoew right away it was a fake. I did however click on the link just for the heck of it and noticed 2 differences between the link in the email and the actual blizz wesbite.
The fake link has login in yellow very hard to see while the real site is in red and quite easy to see.
Fake site also says eneter your battlenet/email address while blizz site says enter your battlenet login info
I am in the process of running full scans on the puter to make sure nothing is hiding and yes I have an authenicator.
How do you tell where the email really came from? Thanks to all who reply most if not all of ya are pretty dang helpful on here and without ya I am sure alot more may fall for crap like this.
