Is This A New Email Scam?

I received this email but I don't have an account with wow on this email so I knew right away it was a scam. Not sure if its a new techique the A******* are using so I am posting here to show in case anyone else receives one.

Warning also the email "mailkey pn1qas.dvx0xcxj.riqz" at the bottom of the message was the same color as the background so I could not see it until I highlighted the whole message to copy and paste.

Edit** also I have never done a paid faction change.
