OK, so… this new attempt of stealing accounts looks so good that almost got me.
When I came to work this morning my work e-mail had a new message (when battle.net accounts came out I used this address to “test” it but I never added any wow account in):
From: wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com
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 **************@a***********.ro. The e-mail address i***@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 **************@a***********.ro 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

And… to be sure I checked an original mail from blizzard where idd I changed my battle.net account and that one… looked exactly the same, with 2 differences:
1. the sender NEEDS to be: Blizzard Entertainment (noreply@battle.net)
2. the “click here” link will send you the battle net account with the fallowing address:
https://eu.battle.net/account/support/index.html?rhtml=y
while the first e-mail will send you to: http://us.battle.blizzard-email-confirm.com/.
SO… in conclusion… don’t even try to type your e-mail and password there because what I got was:
Please notice the difference btwin those 2 addresses and DON”T lose your account. One more thing: for a US battle.net the page should have: https://us.battle.net/account/support/index.html?rhtml=y
In fact, your account is safe… for now, but you will “get rid of it” if you enter your e-mail+pass.
Happy vacation!
Holy Nova NOW! 
yep, I always check those email addresses or even just a link they are giving you. its a trap. and also so far authenticator is still a best option to protect your account. so if you dont have it yet, you better need to get one. =) ttyl hon.
In fact, I don’t use for anything else my e-mail from battle net.
Even so… this was scary bc I usually don’t get caught in the trick and… y, first time I saw something like this.
The pages they direct you to are exact copies of Battlenet sign up. Be warned. Apparently they catch hundreds of people a day.
yep, thats why i posted them… I never felt for those sort of e-mails, but this one was incredible…
This is how I lost my gear like 1 week ago,sounded so real,so yeh i finded my slef naked whit no golds gear,they even delete things like pvp gear ,guess coze they were mad for being unable to sell it.ive used autentificator for my iphone and tbh it worked ok,but i quited useing it for some time and this happends.il get back on using one asap.
hehe, hey there 🙂
Btw, today i wont be on line during day so I hope you can get your points for weapon:d

Blizzard won’t warn you, they will act or not act. Blizz will never ask you to verify anything…. THEY ALREADY HAVE IT!!!! i always click on the link and give bogus information
Some like this:
Name: Jack MeOff
Email: JackMeOff@hotjizz.com
PW: GoF***Yourself
Waste a few minutes of their time, but i find it funny….
yeah almost got me too, but I knew when I intentionally put in the wrong password at the login screen and it let me in.
haha, that’s a good one 🙂
I use an email address JUST FOR battle.net that’s not used anywhere else. This reduces the chances they will find your email on other mail lists and sites etc 🙂
Something like this-is-my-wow-email-whoop@domain.com; it helps if you have your own domain name like I do too 😀
