Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but I recently got an email from noreply@blizzard.com which I was fairly sure is the Blizzard email. It said the following:

Q u o t e:
Greetings,


An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may
not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:
WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use
The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account. If your account is
found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.
To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:
[removed]

Only Account Administration will be able to assist with account retrieval issues. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, and
your continued interest in World of Warcraft.
Sincerely,

Kennalith
Account Administration
Blizzard Entertainment

Is this a scam? I was kind of alerted when the website wasn't a battle.net one, and it was "wowaccuont" which isn't even the right spelling, but again, the noreply@blizzard.com made me think it's real. So I'm just checking this.
