Never answer these emails where Blizzard asks for your account name and password. They don't need to know your password - they already have it.
I get about 20 emails a day from scammers like this and my WoW account has been deactivated for months.

Definitely a scam. Blizzard won't ask you to provide your account details in such a manner.

Total fake. You can tell by a few key things
Blizzard doesn't have appalling grammar
Blizzard has no need for your Account name and pass, they already have it
the URL is 'http' not 'https' (The 's' means secure)

All those emails are fake.
Never click on a link on any of those mails.
If you have any doubt, open your browser, go to www.battle.net and login to you account to check everything is in order.
I'd even recommend to change your email address and password just in case.

Totally fake. One helpful thing is to check the sender against the email support address provided by the official game site.
Only follow the instructions if they're a 100% match.

This email and any similar emails you might receive are obvious fakes sent out by scammers trying to steal your WoW account. You can easily tell if this email is fake if they ask for your account name or password. Blizzard has every user's account info safely stored in their database, so they wouldn't ever need to obtain it again. I believe Blizzard also uses an HTTPS at the beginning of any of their secure URL's instead of the regular HTTP. HTTPS is more secure, and this email does not contain an HTTPS URL so I am even more strongly led to believe this email is fake. Don't trust it and don't open any other emails from this same fake sender.
