Real emails? Or very convincing scam emails?

#0 - Aug. 28, 2010, 10:52 p.m.

Hi, I looked around and read the stickies but I still feel very unsure about these emails that are flooding my spam box.

I use Gmail and I am seeing a ton of emails from noreply@blizzard.com, wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com, and a couple of others all ending in "blizzard.com".

Most of them have to do with my battle.net account being locked/investigated, but my account HASN'T been locked from my understanding because I have been able to play and such just fine.

Is there a way for a blue to tell me if there actually is any suspicious activity going on? I am afraid to click any of the links in these emails, and I can usually tell what is fake and what isn't but I am not sure this time. =/

If there were suspicious activity on the account, Jiru, and it became necessary to lock it, you could easily confirm that by trying to log into that account. :)

More information on these types of phishing attempts and how to check the messages to verify where they came from can be found in the following thread.
