While I can not speak for the validity of that particular e-mail, it is always a good idea to check the source, but we have several promotions active at the moment to encourage account security. The content of the e-mail is legit. It should also be noted that at no point are you directed to click a link, you are directed to "Open your browser and navigate to Blizzard.com/store".
What is wrong with Gratz? O.o It is a common phrase used through the gaming world when you level. We are gamers ourselves so why would using such a term be considered lame? :P |

Why it is so hard to imagine a company of gamers using such a simple term popular in gaming? Granted, I personally would say Grats, and not Gratz, but that's me. :P
Obviously. >.> <.<
Xandrik, if you click on the little Blue Blizz symbol located in the upper right corner you'll be able to go directly to my post. It is always a good idea to read a thread in its entirety, you never know what facts may have entered into the conversation. :) |

As Kapua indicated, Cantalop, "Coin Lock" is from a different game. In that case, if you were locked and if e-mail was legitimate it should contain a 5 or 6 digit number that you can enter while logged into the game. A number of our e-mails will contain linked, such as in our Password Recovery e-mail but they all should go to a Blizzard.com or Battle.net. You can usually hover your cursor over the link to make sure it goes where it claims it does. The following Support Article has a lot of advice on how to verify the e-mails you receive. http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/25133 |

So you mean our version of that? Ours is a bit more thorough as we lock the entire account when a change in pattern or other suspicious activity is detected. In those cases you should be directed to the following site: https://us.battle.net/account/locked.html To unlock the account you'll need to follow the last step, which is to reset your password. |
