Re: Does this look like a scam to you?

I know it's academic; I received a reply from Blizzard.

Greetings,

Thank you for your email. Please be aware that the email you have
received is a known scam attempt, intending to "phish" for your
account information and steal your account. Many of these emails may
appear to be from Blizzard, and are imitating the typical structure of
our emails, even going as far as using the names of some of our
Account Administration team in the signature.

Remember, we will only ever contact you from an email address ending
in @blizzard.com (typically from WoWAccountReviewEU@xxxxxxxxxxxx or
WoWgmEU@xxxxxxxxxxxx or @email.blizzard.com (in the case of the
Newsletter). In addition, a Blizzard Employee will NEVER ask for the
password to your account or email address. Other account information,
such as your Secret Question/Answer and CD key will only be requested
if your account is suspended, or if you have contacted us for
assistance (for example, to change your registered email address).

Please read these posts on our forums for further information:

We strongly recommend you do not reply to the email, as it will result
in your account becoming compromised. If you have already sent your
information in response to the email, please contact us to secure your
account.

If you wish to review our current Rules and Policies, they can be
