I'd say at the least, change your password. I've gotten tons and tons of fake emails and the like, claiming all kinds of horrible things. All of them provided seemingly legit links, and even the Blizzard Support phone number, with the hours of the offices and the like! There's a key to telling if they are fake or not, I've found. It might take re-reading the email several times, but it will let you know it's fake; make sure there are no grammatical, spelling, or punctuation mistakes anywhere in the email. That includes links and the like.

Password has been changed, now I'm attempting to change the email but, surprise surprise, I don't remember my security question. Had to email Blizzard about it, hopefully they'll get back to me soon...

Fingers crossed you get a reply from Blizz quick.
I get emails like these 2-3 times a day, I always ignore and delete them.

Always keep one thing in mind:

Blizzard will not warn ya, they'll close your account and THEN start asking questions.

Just like the cops... :lol:

No, seriously. Blizzard will never ever tell you that they are about to do something. They will do it. Everything else, especially things that ask you to log in on some website, are a scam! Take changing your passwort, for example. You log in to battle.net and change your password. You will get an email afterwards that tells you, your password has been changed and that you should ignore this email if you did change your password. Only respond if you didn't change your password and suspect an account hacking.

See? They don't ask you to confirm it over and over again. They change the password and thats it.

Noted. Luckily this won't happen again, not to mention I don't think they got my info... I was lucky! I knew keeping a whole rabbit (and not just the foot) would help!
