Im at somewhat of a loss

#0 - Aug. 5, 2010, 3:26 a.m.

So i just checked my email address today (and im constantly getting phishing emails from 'blizzard' which i know isnt really blizz) but this time one of the emails i got was about the guild writing contest to win a cataclysm beta invite for you and 9 of your guild members, So when the contest was announced i sent in a essay saying why my guild should be chosen

And finally i get an email about it and im not sure if it is right, the email is entitled 'Cataclys Beta Guild Contest Winner', im skeptical about it cause obviously they spelled cataclysm wrong or should i say they did not fully spell it but the email address says BlizzardContest@blizzard.com so all i need to know is if this is legit or not..

Q u o t e:
check the full header on it. if it shows it originating form mx1.blizzard.com or something similar it is most likely real.
