Nope it’s not. Don’t ever listen to those ever. Basically never give your log in info to anyone ever even if it sounds official. I’m pretty sure the game even says mods will never ask you for it and stuff like that. Also censor that link and just put [shady link] there instead because I don’t want someone clicking on that.
There’s a google account one I’ve seen before saying almost the same thing but it has a different reason other than selling account.
Never listen to any email ever asking to verify you’re the owner unless you specifically initiated it with the official site, such as if you’re creating a new account and it wants you to validate the email.
Is this the first phishing email you’ve ever seen?
Typos like that usually give it away pretty easily
Also blizzard is aware, like any other company that this is a thing.
So they will likely NOT send you an email asking for credentials, but would probably tell you to contact support via the official website if they do send you an email ^^
If you have a phone just connect it to your Blizzard account. It adds an extra layer of protection because you need your phone physically to do stuff like that and you don’t need your ID, just the phone.
A similar thing happened on an MMO game called Wizard101.
They basically said stuff like “your password is compromised, it must be reset, please click the link below to confirm”
Check what E-Mail it was from, because from my knowledge, companies NEVER use any other email other than their own (if it has @gmail.com or something it’s most likely fake)
Oh, there’s tons of 'em that are harder to discern, some that impersonate banks will try to mimic an official email from said bank as closely as possible, including pictures etc…
When in doubt, don’t trust an email.
Just call the actual company/bank/whatever the day after to insure that everything is fine, while you’re doing that you can then immediatly warn them regarding that phishing email making the rounds.
