So i clicked the link without looking at the URL or anything but my laptop didnt say there was anything wrong, i forgot my question though as i always forget those (most stupid security option ever come on)

But when i got home the link made chrome warn me for a phishing site and this is what the URL actually was; http://us.diablo.com.zh-mou.in/login.html?app=wam&ref=https://www.battle.net/account/&eor=0&app=bam

Well my account is not blocked, so. =p

I never trust e-mails that give me links. If Blizzard finds your account suspicious they should have other means to contact you, the phishing attempts are an oooold issue.

I get these emails about every 3rd day. As long as it is in my Junk folder i don't open it.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Reminds me of the time Blizzard locked my account and the recovery Email got redirected to Junk. Yes my account was locked (trying to log in to Diablo III gave locked account error) and yes the Email was from Blizzard.

Eeeyup, I was gonna make a thread about it. My email that I use for facebook and some other things if it became public, I continue to get these nonsense emails and I knew they were fake since that email is not associated with bnet account.

Do you know what I did? I published the email I saw and newsletters for some random sites so that the email gets spammed. Now the thing is.. is this bot-shit hiding under someone else's emails also found on the web? I think I may have shot the wrong guy by sending his email to the SPAM HEAVEN.

I say make a rule to auto delete an email with title: 'Diablo III Account-Notice'

You can tell it's fake by the grammatical errors.
They're a large corporation, not a bunch of middle-aged men living in some garage!

edit

but they are in place to ensure that every player is able to enjoy their time in game.

^Awkward phrase

If you can’t click

^ It should be ', not ’.

We now provide a secure website for you to verify that you have taken the appropriate steps to secure the account, your computer, and your email address.

^ This entire sentence needs to be restructured.

edit
Just realized this thread is kinda old, but I guess this information should help you spot non-legit e-mails from people claiming to be Blizzard.

Euhm any of those sentences you quoted seems fine?

No with mails like this you need to use formal English.
