Strange e-mails from Blizzard?

I've gotten this e-mail on both of my accounts. One was used for a WoW trial account wayyyy back, the second has only been used for professional purposes. Here's the one email:

Blizzard Entertainment recently received a request to change the e-mail address used to log in to the Battle.net account with the username <my address>@xxx.xx.

An email has been sent to this new address containing a verification link to complete the change.

Once the new address has been verified, the e-mail address <my address>@xxx.xx can no longer be used to log in to this Battle.net account or any World of Warcraft accounts merged with this Battle.net account.

If you did not initiate this request, please click here to check your login e-mail address immediately.

I've gotten one of these before, I went to cancel the request but I couldn't remember any of my login info. The strange part is that it comes from an (apparently) European division of Blizzard.

The second:

The "click here" redirects to http://eu.worldofwarcraft.verifyaccount.us/account.html which (as I now see) has been flagged (I get a warning message).

edit: Now that my herp derp-ing is done, I guess this is just a heads up to other users, be careful with your account info.

Is it not obvious enough what's going on?

Yeah I realized halfway through posting once I read through the e-mails more thoroughly and got the warning about the site (it's been a long day). I got another one too, warning me that my account was allegedly being used against the EULA.

delete plz.

I'm glad I am not the only one... fuck these emails are so annoying

I don't think they even have any knowledge of what e-mails are for WoW accounts, they just send them out hoping you have one they can steal.

This is clearly spam, BUT, all accounts are run through B.net now....If ever in doubt, even though it's fucking obvious, go to worldofwarcraft.com and try logging in, look at the link...--> https://us.battle.net/login/en/login...count/&app=wam

Forward the emails to blizzard/battle.net they'll probably take a look at these ones for sure for security reasons..

Funny how a lot of these are starting to come out now that SC2 has the Real name + Email all in one together in their buddy system.
