Heads up Siliconerites! Unscrupulous characters are using Starcraft II hype to steal Battle.net accounts. We received multiple e-mails promising a Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty CD-key by following “instructions”. Each e-mail came with a phony receipt and a link to a fake Battle.net login screen that didn’t have battle.net as the URL.

As a public service announcement, be extremely cautious if you recieve any e-mails that do not come directly from Blizzard (@blizzard.com or @battle.net).

For reference, an example e-mail and scammer e-mail address are posted below with the malicious links removed.
