I received this after I emailed Billing asking to change the email of my account because the current email that was associated with it was deleted, and it says my password is changed, not my email.

Also I recieved it at 1AM EST, and at that time blizzard is closed for the day so I think it is a scam

Answer 1

It doesn't matter what time of day you received the e-mail. Notice it said it's "automated", meaning it was sent to you as soon as their system detected a change. That weblink and that phone number and e-mail address are all legit. They're sending you the e-mail because your password was changed, and if you didn't change it, someone else did and your account could become hacked. To be sure that you aren't going to a scammer's site, manually type in the web address. If you don't want to take chances of the website being a scam, just call them and they'll get it straightened out.

Answer 2

If it did not ask for your username or password and told you to reset your password or that it has been reset, then it could very well be legit and i would recommend changing it through wow's website. I would NOT follow the link in the email. Sometimes blizz will change a password automatically if it catches a hacker accessing your account and then send you an email saying so. Better to err on the side of caution my friend

Answer 3

particular its pretend. i in my view stated that style of digital mail and became advised its a pretend. I had a loose trial wow account yet stopped using after the loose trial so there could no longer have been any interest on my account interior the 1st place.

Answer 4

Just do one of the options that they said to do....my friends acount got hacked and he had to restart so if i were u i would definately be cautious and do what the thing says to do if u didnt change ur pw

Answer 5

Change your password just in case, that wouldn't hurt.

Answer 6

If you have not changed your password yourself, it is fake and you should e-mail Blizzard immediately.

Answer 7

sophisticated subject. lookup on the search engines. just that may help!
