Any implications on battlenet for me from this?

Xordium · 30 Jun 2011 at 18:26

Ok just got this through anyone else got this - I don't have a battlenet account and have never had one so was somewhat bemused to see this come through. Any implications here I am not thinking of bar that my email will already be attached to an account I don't use?

Blizzard Entertainment <[email protected]> to "[email protected]" <[email protected]>

Probably a scam, I used to get those kind of emails everyday without fail.

I get emails like this CONSTANTLY on my old email address which used to have by battle.net account on it.

They just assume that lots of people have battle.net accounts. If you don't have an account, ignore it. And if you do, ignore it too.

Xordium · 30 Jun 2011 at 19:02

Except I won't be able to use that address if I want an account I suppose.

Thing is, the originating email address is legit. Go to Battle.net (straight there - no links) and request a password change, also change the password on your email account.

Look at the headers on the e-mail, it probably never came from blizzard, and if it is it looks like you got yourself a free WoW/SC2 account!

Cheers for the input chaps rogue account deleted and now claimed my email back. A strange one why use my email rather than make a new one I don't know.

Got this same email, tried to check if someone used an account with my email and they require a first and last name so couldnt check if someone had an account with my email address. Put the email in junk tho.

Email Blizzard support and ask them.

If you intend to have an account in the future, you don't want to have your email taken by some spam bot.

Apparently I've been trying to sell my WOW account for about 3 years according to the numerous emails I still get!! :eek:

I thought it was strange since I've never played WOW a day in my life!

Ignore, mark as junk and ignore some more!
