    Phsih or not a phishing scam?

    Well guys i recieved this email and my world of warcraft account seems to be untouched. The only thing that i dont get is that the email doesnt take me to any phishing site or tell me to email them at a different email address. I tryed the linkin the email but it never worked.

    Here is the email:

    Greetings,




    An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that you have ben involved in online account trading activities. The account will be disabled if you do not follow these instructions. If you use a credit card to subscribe, it will be removed so you are not charged if the account is disabled. Please keep this email until you have regained account access.




    1.) WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?




    Blizzard entertainment takes account trading very seriously. Please remember that World of Warcraft accounts cannot be shared with anyone except one minor who you are the parent or guardian of. If we find substantial evidence that you have traded the account then it will be bisabled. If you would like to keep your World of Warcraft account please follow the directions below.




    2.) HOW CAN I KEEP MY ACCOUNT?




    Download and use this form to retain account access: http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/WoW/othe...-Retriecal.pdf. Please send in your submission within 48 hours after receiving this e-mail or your account will be locked. For security reasons, please do not respond to this e-mail address. Proper use of the form is the only way to retain account access. Please send your submission as soon as possible since Blizzard Entertainment is unable to offer any type of reimbursement if an account is disabled.




    3.) I’M HAVING TROUBLE DOWNLOADING THE FORM!




    The newest version of the free Adobe Reader© can be downloaded at Adobe. If clicking the link doesn’t work, right-click it and choose “Save Target As...” to save the file to your computer.




    4.) I SENT MY FAX, NOW WHAT?




    We will contact you again once your submission is received and processed. If you do not receive a reply within 72 hours of sending your fax, please resend it. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience.




    Only Account Administration is able to assist with account retrieval issues. To learn more about how Account Administration is able to assist you, please visit us at http://us.blizzard.com/support/artic...rticleId=21505.

    Sincerely,
