New Scam! Beware?

I got an interesting "fishy" email today. It contained a zip file titled "AddOns". The e-mail was supposedly from Blizzard. However, I find that highly un-likely.


This is what it said...


Dear WoW User

This message is sent from Blizzard Entertainment.
The Burning Crusade is now available at a store near you!
Blizzard's stated goal with the blood elves is to give the horde side a more
attractive (in appearance) race and starting area, which will hopefully help
address population imbalance across the servers.
We get some of the first hands-on information of warcraft expansion at bizzcon,
we provides countless hours of exciting wallpictures, the links and the perfect
installration.
The official World of Warcraft website's game guide and workshop sections will
receive a series of content updates to help you get started with World of
Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The following list is only the first of several
updates, so make sure to clink in the attachment.
During installation of the expansion, you'll be able to clink in the attachment.
Alternatively, you can click here to upgrade as well. If you experience any
issues with the Installation, please visit the Installation Issues section of
our support page for assistance.

This is a reminder, we do plan on having a lot more pages for Burning Crusade.
We're working on these updates and we'll post them as soon as we can.

In the event you have any other billing questions or concerns, please feel free
to contact our Billing & Account Services team for support. You can reply to
this email directly, or call 1-800-59-BLIZZARD (800-592-5499) for live phone
support between 9am and 6pm Pacific Time. Users in Australia should please call
800-041-378, if the standard 800 line does not work for them.

As many of you have already deduced, that is not a legitimate email from Blizzard. We are sure never to send attachments via email, nor would we distribute any sort of patch data in such a fashion. If you have any questions regarding the Billing department, they can be contacted by phone during regular business hours.
All of the sudden, I found myself in love with the world. So, there was only one thing I could do...
is ding-a-ding-dang my dang-along-ling-long.
