Today I got this email:

Hello,
This is an automated notification regarding the recent change(s) made to your W0W account. This may be regarding online item transaction(s). When you receive this message that means there are serious security risks with your account.

Please click the following link and complete the account verification process form:
(I removed link)

Account security is solely the responsibility of the account holder.
We encourage you to keep the following security tips in mind when playing a Blizzard game on any computer:

- Use up-to-date firewall, antivirus, and anti-spyware software to scan your system regularly for viruses, Trojans, and key-loggers.
- Keep your operating system and other software up-to-date and be careful when downloading new software.

Regards, Battle.net Verification Process
Account Administration


The link then asks me to verify:
name
Address
home phone
etc.


maybe I'm just being paranoid. But the other thing that got me concerned was that I saw that I could log into my battlenet account from there and when I tried that it would just reload the log in screen and not ask me for my authenticator #

anyone know if something like this is legit?
