Fake Email? Help.
Is this a fake email? I've gotten some password changes in the past due to GMs believing my account is comprimised everytime my significant other log onto my account. Them believing someone can access my new passwords.
So that makes me itchy whether this is a fake or not. There are many factors that -do- point at fake though, so I want to hear someone elses opinion.

The "http://us" and the "wow-europas.wz.cs" make me go ^^.
The first one sounds like something United States-ish and the second one, I was sure it was wow-europe.com >.>

Indeed. And I can even view other people the mail was sent to.
Which I'm fairly sure you can't see when Blizzard send it.
I also believe they use "noreply" rather than "donotreply" p:
I suppose I should just disgard it and delete it?

I delete any emails I get even the ones actually from blizzard.
They can't tell me something I don't already know by logging into my battlenet account.

Fake.
Basically Angie, as a GM explained to me once. If they ever, believe something is wrong with your account. They will shut the account down FIRST, and then contact you. Not contact you just by e-mail. Any other time this does not occur, it is fake.

Indeed, I got tons of Beta invitations and I was never sure if ANY of them were official, that is until I've checked Account Management and found out myself. Always check Account Management when in doubt about e-mails.

Re: Fake Email? Help.
When Blizzard has suspicions about anything concerning an account, they lock said account first and then send an email. As long as you can still login, the emails you receive are fakes. A really easy way to tell.

Something about the "Please be aware that if unauthorized access to this account, it may lead to further action" doesn't sound right, whether that's me being tired I don't know.
