Dear customer,

Due to suspicious activity, the Battle.net account <my email was here> has been locked. You logined your account successfully at 21:41:29 on 2010-8-4 from the 175.242.12.5, but our system shows this IP isn't your registered IP. We are concerned about whether your account has been stolen. In order to guarantee the legitimacy of your account, we need you follow these steps:

Step 1: Secure Your Computer

In the event that your computer has been infected with malicious software such as a keylogger or trojan, simply changing your password may not deter future attacks without first ensuring that your computer is free from these programs. Please visit our Account Security website to learn how to secure your computer from unauthorized access.

Step 2: Secure Your E-mail Account

After you have secured your computer, check your e-mail filters and rules and look for any e-mail forwarding rules that you did not create. For more information on securing your e-mail account, visit our Support page.

Step 3: Restore access to Your account

We now provide a secure website for you to verify whether you have taken the appropriate steps to secure the account, your computer, and your email address. Please follow this site to restore the access to your account: [Removed]

The e-mail address was purposefully edited out of your original link, Respite. We add common known false links to our database to be scrambled out when posted. This is in an effort to protect some of our players that may not know the difference from the real sites and the bad ones. While I appreciate your attempt to report the e-mail here on the forum please do not circumvent the filter to let the link display here. Rather, I would ask that you please forward the e-mail, in its entirety, to our Hacks team at: hacks@blizzard.com.
