I got this email this morning from "wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com"
Is this a fake email like I suspect?

Q u o t e:
Dear customer,

Due to suspicious activity, the Battle.net account <MY EMAIL> has been locked. You logined your account successfully at 22:40:40 on 2010-10-4 from the ###.###.##.##, but our system shows this IP isn't your registered IP. We are concerned about whether your account has been stolen. In order to guarantee the legitimacy of your account, we need you follow these steps:

Step 1: Secure Your Computer

In the event that your computer has been infected with malicious software such as a keylogger or trojan, simply changing your password may not deter future attacks without first ensuring that your computer is free from these programs. Please visit our Account Security website to learn how to secure your computer from unauthorized access.

Step 2: Secure Your E-mail Account

After you have secured your computer, check your e-mail filters and rules and look for any e-mail forwarding rules that you did not create. For more information on securing your e-mail account, visit our Support page.

Step 3: Restore access to Your account

We now provide a secure website for you to verify whether you have taken the appropriate steps to secure the account, your computer, and your email address. Please follow this site to restore the access to your account: <EDITED LINK>

its already in my junk email, Its one of the trickier ones i've seen. But one of the spelling errors kinda made me wonder


If you check the IP is likely no where near your current location as well.

We do have some security measures in place that will temporary lock an account if suspicious behavior is detected but the link provided is sent to your registered e-mail address and will simply unlock the account and reset your password.
