So yeah, got an email from WoWaccountadmin@blizzard.com saying my WoW account is at risk of being banned, funny thing is I never signed up for an account.

Pastebin of the email

So is this some type of phishing being sent around then?

Almost definitely a scam. First hint is the email address: "WoWaccountadmin@blizzard.com". It would be much more likely be a mail from "support@email.blizzard.com" or something.
Second, they ask you to click on a link. Ten to one that link does NOT go where advertised.

tl;dr: "Lol" indeed ^^

Well, seeing as I have never played the game or recieved emails from blizzard before, It did look quite legitimate I must say .

yeah i get these emails all the time trying to phish for your account names and passwords... they are pretty funny, some of them actually look real but like the tooltip says when its loading... they will never ask you for your password... EVER

I get WoW 'account' emails literally every single hour in my spam box. Also Runescape seems to be hugely popular with the spammers too though I have no idea why

I used to get a similar email, but I blocked the sender. I don't have a WoW acc either.

Those emails have been going around for years. They are pretty good at making them appear to be real.
