Hello,

Blizzard Entertainment recently received a request to change the e-mail address used to log in to the Battle.net account with the username ninjaboy114@hotmail.com. The e-mail address k***@hotmail.com has been specified as the new username for this Battle.net account. An email has been sent to this new address containing a verification link to complete the change.

Once the new address has been verified, the e-mail address ninjaboy114@hotmail.com can no longer be used to log in to this Battle.net account or any World of Warcraft accounts merged with this Battle.net account.

If you did not initiate this request, please click here to contact the Blizzard Billing & Account Services team immediately.

Sincerely,
The Battle.net Account Team

Yes. The line "...please click here to contact ..." is your clue this is a hacker scumbag.
I dont mean this in a negative way to you, but think about it. If someone can hack your account to change your email address, why would they? Thats not what they are after to begin with; know what I mean?

Well, my first clue was the fact that it was in my junk box... I just figure I'd ask to cover my ass

I get like 10 of em a day and there's like 3-4 differ ones they have!
One looks pretty real like it was sent from blizzard! I only got that one once so I checked it out once I got home and what ever they said was total BS! And when I get ingame pst about that crap I give them my log in name and password and say u can have my 60,000G and all my goodies! But they can hack me since my authenicator HAHA

A quick mouseover of the link will usually provide the actual website the link will send you to and add the keylogger. I get at least 10 a day for WoW and at least 3-4 a day for various games I have never played before, AoC, Aion, and a few others I can't recall at this time. I usually just delete them without reading these days. They were getting a lot more creative with the scams for a while there, but it seems to me they are back to just preying on the lowest hanging fruit.

Meh, I've never been fooled and doubt I'll ever be by these emails.


I have an email I use JUST for WoW, I've never written it on any other site, nor do I type it even for the lulz incase I ever get a keylogger. No point in logging into that email since I never do anything I shouldn't be doing in game.


Also, it's probably best to not even open the emails, a simple right click on the email then click View message source will tell you everything about the email.

You want to look for where it says X-originating email. Will tell you the actual email address used and their general I.P.

I didn't open the one that look somewhat real I just loges into my battle.net account and checked it out....and Luke I figured it was BS!
I think it was for a character tansfer...
But it had the backround like a blizzard email so I was wondering if someone tryd to xfer a toon on me lol
