I just received and in game whisper saying-

[Blizzgw] whisper: hello! Blizzard World of Warcraft game found in violation of your game account please visit our website <removed> enter your information, pending review, or we will permanently disable your game account.

Is this legitimate or phish attempt? Seems odd to get a whisper about it not an email.

Blizzard employees will not whisper a player in game in this fashion, Deathrind.

To know if an actual Blizzard representative does whisper you in game, it will look like this:

I received an in-game whisper from someone claiming to be a GM. How do I know if it's a scam?

Also, in the future, please do not post malicious links in your posts. I understand you may not have known not to do so but we do not want other players to get curious. ◕‿◕
