Just scammers being stupid and thinking you have an account. Just delete and ignore them, or reply saying "I don't even have an account, dumbass".

Someones got your email account and password. That's the only way they can change the battle net account linked to it, cuz they have to get to the emails. Change the password.

I get those messages sometimes - it's a phishing scam.
The ones I got were always from an address like "[email protected]" or something - any Battle.net messages should come from Battle.net itself.

He said he didn't have a battle.net account...

So this will be the secret to their new Titan MMO

Creating false accounts, histories, and eventually, identities for people in order to draw them in to the game... forever.

So a few minutes, I happened to check my spam folder, and discovered several e-mails from Blizzard regarding changes made to my battle.net account. The thing is, I don't have a battle.net account. Never have.

Anyone know what this is? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Happened to me too. I messed with them a bit until they just stopped emailing me.

If someone got his email account and password, they could have used it to set up a battle.net account. If that's the case, he might want to change the password before they do something worse, like email porn to his parents or something. besides, there's no harm in changing the password, even if no one does have it, won't hurt nothing.

Wrong. All of my legitimate emails from battle.net, for the short time that I played wow, came from that exact address. [email protected]

You think that someones "elaborate" plan of hacking into an email account would consist of using said email to sign up for Battle.net, and then progress to emailing porn to his parents?

Well, I'm pretty sure they didn't set up an account using my e-mail, because when I follow the "account management" link, it got blocked as "web forgery designed to get me to give out personal info." So I'm going with the other people on this one, I'm pretty sure it's just a scam. Thanks for the advice anyway, though. I still changed my password.

Umm... or the more logical person would assume, "its a scam"... but who knows, its the parent porn hacker.. beware!

Really? Fair enough. I don't actually have first-hand knowledge - was just going by what others had told me.
I do apologise.

No need. I wasn't offended or anything, just in a hurry. But I have gotten phishing emails from a similar address, I think it was a .net/.com thing, and i can't remember which was the real one now that i think about it, so I could be wrong.

Yeah, it's more likely to be a scam, but i'd rather take the ten minutes to change my password in case it's more than that. That's all I was saying.
