It claimed to come from Blizzard, had excellent spelling/grammar/punctuation and was regarding "changes to parental controls". The thing that made me highly suspicious was that it claimed that I no longer had to provide a password, but could just use this email link as the 'password'. So convenient! It sounds like it would conveniently steal my account info. <br /><br />I should really double check it and the official parental controls page. I wonder if I can remember my password...<br /><br />Oh, and the official closed beta really has begun now.

It had no links, no malicious code or anything, actually came from blizzard.com. It just said something like you know how to get there, go do it.<br /><br />I guess I am so suspicious now, that when a real and honest email comes I figure it must be fake.Skrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911140093148518743noreply@blogger.com
