I was going through my email looking to see if my account restoration had finished yet (I was recently hacked, I assume by either keylogging or phishing) and I found this email. I knew my subscription was going to renew at some time so I figured it was legit. The person on it also looked like he was Blizzard. As soon as I went to the site it said "[deleted]" (instant giveaway). When I went back to the email for "more details" I read that it was actually from "[deleted]" (so probably some [deleted]or [deleted]hackers).

Watch out for this email, it almost got me!

Hiya Locknlol,

Thank you for the heads up! It’s best to send these types of emails right over to [email protected], remember to copy and paste the entire header into the message body, so we can identify the source. I did edit the false web address on your post, please try not to add the false links or addresses when posting. Thank you!
