Ok I had my account hijacked in the past and got it back, thankfully. However since then I keep getting these fake alerts about my account being on sale or account info being altered. When will it ever end. I mean seriously its been almost a month now and I'm still getting these fake emails.

Once the hackers have your email address, Umbralupus, they will continue to send you emails that look as though they are coming from us.

You can either keep the same email address you have and familiarize yourself with what to look for in the email headers, or you can update the email address linked to the Battle.net account.

If it were me, I would make a new email address that is completely different than what you previously had. For example, if you had [email protected], don’t change it to [email protected]. That tends to defeat the purpose. :/
