Scammers claiming my account will be suspended

So I got contacted in game by a obvious scammer by the name of “Blizard-Azgalor” saying they were a Blizzard Admin, saying in very broken english that my account was under investigation for being abnormal and that i should go to this website and that if i didnt my account would be suspended, has anyone else had this issue?
