I've been getting flooded by fake Blizzard spam the last day or so, "7
days free game time" etc type. Didn't even open them, but they're
likely to be either leading to malware or to fake websites designed to
extract your account info.

So just a heads-up to be wary of any mails you receive from Blizz;
check message source to be sure where it really came from! Also if you
have the option, set your Battle.net account to a different email
address to anything else; then you can easily see if it's real by
where it was sent to (all my spam comes to the first address I used
for WoW, which I changed years back when such spam first started
happening - makes it very easy to spot :-))
