If I was you I would not go on the website but does anyone else think this is a bit shifty?

idd i wouldnt click that link tbh i class every email i get as dodgy if its says its from blizzard untill i do my homework on it ie check blizz posts check forums for anyone else posting about it etc etc.

This mail has been posted before and it's obviously fake.

1) Bad grammar
2) Shifty link
3) If you gotta ask for genuinity, it's fake. Seriously, you'll know when it's not.
4) They ASK you to open a webpage which they link to. Blizzard does not ASK you to open a link in their email, they tell you to browse to their website on your own.

[Gallador]

That link has Http:// instead of Https:// iirc.

[deyndra]

Fake indeed. Take all mails from "blizz" as fakes and if one seems to be more of a real mail i contact blizzard by phone or a ticket ingame where i ask if its true that they write to me in the mail.

And never, never, never open a link in those mails!
