Another Phishing email possiblity?

#0 - Oct. 28, 2010, 6:58 a.m.

I keep receiving this email and was wondering if anyone else is... If this is a phishing email it is scary! because the name sure does look like it is coming from blizzard. I get 2 of these every day and i keep signing in to blizzards site from my bookmark just to be safe. Nothing seemed to be changed like my password or anything. So I am truthfully concerned if this is just another problem at hand. I am putting all the Bold text areas as links in the email.

Pop open the internal routing headers of those emails.

That is the ONLY way to tell for sure who the sender is. The FROM address in the body means less than nothing as it's very easily changed to say anything they'd like it to.

That's not the internal routing headers.

Every email program can show those, although they may be fun to find :)

Much of it will look like gibberish, but it will show the true sender.
