Although the 2nd and 3rd links as well as the blizzard phone number appear to be legit, the first link when clicked was blocked by McAfee site advisor and appears to be suspicious due to spelling anomolies in the address (Removed.)

Is this just a phishing attempt? If it is it looked very legitimate and almost fooled me completely. if it wasnt for McAfee I might have fallen for it.

I have not made any changes to my World of Warcraft account or billing options or my Battlenet info (as claimed in the email) other than recently adding Starcraft 2 collectors edition.
I just logged into my WoW account and my characters seem to be fine.
