I just got this email from blizzard. I was about to click reply with all the information but then I decided to read over it to see if it was sketchy. This is the email:

The first thing that popped to my mind after reading it is that it is indeed fake but I want to make sure. Wwhen I click reply in the "To:" box it is sending it to ………..@mail-blizzard.com which as most people know is a completely different domain name.
The 2nd thing I noticed is that the sentences do not flow on at all which makes me think of Chinese scammers. Also I would have thought it would have my name somewhere in it.
So is this a good attempt at scamming my account or is it legit?
Scam: As it says after you log into WoW, a Blizzard Employee will never ask for your password and this e-mail does just that. Plus if you were selling your account and they learned of it, they would just ban it with no questions asked. Don’t send them anything.
