    Thats horrible, the person who sent that used a very very bad translation engine.

    Yeah, looks a lot like the scam whispers in game. The English is so bad it can't possibly actually be from Blizzard, but it must work on some people or they'd try another tactic.

    Maybe you should remove the link to the fake website so that no one gets caught by mistake. Also, we don't need to help these thiefs to increase their google rank

    I just got one of these on May 13 as well.

    I know it's fake, the spelling and grammer kind of give this away.

    Is there a reporting website where I can forward this to Blizz and they can backtrack it and get these bastards the way Paypal does with their " spoof @ paypal .com " function? (spaces are only to avoid unneeded hyperlinks)

    You'd think they could pay some native English speaker a few thousand gold to create something that's at least grammatically correct.

    Or just go look on the blizzard US forums and find someone who posted a REAL blizzard email and just cut & paste that into an email.

    The more this stuff happens, the more I'm reminded of our old saying when watching "Cops" here in the US: "Criminals is dumb."
