[Optional Opinion]

If you don't have an account, then block the emails and don't reply.

I got one of them, sent an email to blizzard about it, no more emails.

/sigh

Obviously a scam

Yeah... you'll be getting them about Starcraft as well. It's a phishing scam, they want you to go to their fake site and input your info then they steal all you stuff.

It's a phishing scam, and it's not actually coming from blizzard.

Ok first, please, please, please remove all links that came with the e-mail from your post as they all most assuredly lead to malicious websites that will plant viruses on people's computer and compromise their account security with nearly every online game or online website they use. Also I sincerely hope you didn't follow any of the links because you will be infected by something now and I advise you unplug yourself from the internet and start running virus scans.

You also need to relax, its just spam mark it as such and eventually it will all just go straight to your junk mail box. The reason why your reply is not getting through to anyone is because its not really from blizzard but from accounts that the scamers create and then get rid of immediately after.

The best thing you can do is just delete it and yes forward it to blizzard's hack and anti-piracy team at [email protected]

I would also advise you educate yourself by reading this thread on their official support forums about how to handle these scam e-mails. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=965511383&sid=1
