tips ftw

but srsly, blizzard clearly has the ability to grab whatever info they'd need about your account at will, especially if it's something like selling your account

i'd just change whatever medium you're using to sell your account(s) because the one you're on has some srs trollin' goin on

Cept real blizzard folk have the magic blue icon next to their names http://www.allakhazam.com/shared/smilies/schooled.gif

I can say, with 100% of fact, that email is fake! I suggest you report it to Blizz and delete it right away.

[Brill Weave]

Send him a reply telling him to fuck off and ask why is it that Blizzard employees will never ask you for your account information. Then sign up the email for gay porn spam or something
