Don't worry the links are fake (I took the real ones out.) It's a scam. However it looks quite genuine. The link also appears to go to www worldofwarcraft.com However there were two things that made me suspicious. First the mail appeared to be directing me to worldofwarcraft.com As an EU player I should have been directed to eu.blizzard.com Hmmmmmm Second the e-mail was sent to an address that is not my e-mail used with my Battle Net account, so Blizzard should not know what that e-mail is. They only know the one I use for my WOW account. Lastly when I checked the link in the e-mail it was actually for a website that was spelt worldrofwarcraft dot com. Note the extra 'r' as in worldRofwarcraft dot com (don't actually go to this site as it's the hackers bogus site.

Stay suspicious folks

horrible horrible!

why is this not adressed by our countries legal system at all?

Most likely sadly because it is considered just a website, which by law wont be considered illegal.
