I just recieved an e-mail from "Blizzard" that managed to get into my inbox rather than spam with the title
"Return to World of Warcraft with 7 Days of Game Time".
It looks relatively convincing, but upon further investigation I found it to be fraud by looking at the full e-mail header:

There are also a few clues in the e-mail itself such as the "Der" instead of "Dear." Also, it claims 4.2 to be "Rise of the Zalandari"
If you actually click the link it takes you to a site with a domain of ".tk" which is completely fake.
I hope nobody falls for this!
Edit: I attached an image of the e-mail.
