WoW Account Issue?

I just got this emailed to me from my current e-mail, which is the email for my battlenet account. I also have gotten these emailed to me on my really old wow account email.

Is this legit? The IP they used is similar but not the same to my current IP but it seriously looks legit.
Q u o t e:

Like I said, I have gotten these before and nohing has ever happened. I'm just concerned because it is from a blizzard email address..unless it is actually a fake and I just can't see it. But I can assure everyone that I don't spam or anything. I barely talk to anyone.
