The typical e-mails include: the beta testing, account restoration, added game time, account being disabled, etc.
I check today and see I have another e-mail from 'Blizzard' stating that 'my' account may be disabled. I know it isn't becuase I stopped using this address when months ago when I took a break (changed e-mail address and password at that time)
Here's the e-mail I got:

If I'm reading this correctly, this is from Blizzard. All I'm asking is:
Is this a real e-mail from Blizzard?
And if it is, I'd like to know who to contact on getting this e-mail disabled prementantly from being used for any battle.net account.
Oh! one more thing, not related to this. I changed my name on this toon a while back, I was curious when it would update to the new one?
Thank you for your time :)
