Heya Steakhouse,
Below are steps on how you can verify any email that comes from us before you send any information back to that email requesting it.

What should I look for in the header?
Email headers contain information about the sender (who sent the email message), the path the email took to reach your inbox, and things that may have happened to the email before arriving. This information is very important and can be used to determine whether or not an email is malicious.
Once you've accessed an email's header information, you'll want to attempt to verify the sending address. To do this, look at the "Return-Path" or the "originating address" for the email. For most phishing emails, the email address displayed in this location will differ from the address displayed in the "From" field.
A legitimate header from Blizzard Entertainment should look something like this:
X-SID-PRA noreply@blizzard.com
or
Return-Path: < noreply@blizzard.com >
Received: from smtp01.worldofwarcraft.com ([XX.XXX.XXX.XXX]) by…
Received: from … by smtp01.worldofwarcraft.com …
for <Your Email Address>; Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:46:05 GMT
From: noreply@blizzard.com
To: You’re Email Address
