Watch out for Scammers

I've gotten emails lately; Two from "Blizzard", one from "Hi-Rez Studios", and a few from "Amazon".
All fake, telling me of issues with my account, or purchases on the accounts with links to "review the purchases".
I've been told the sites they lead to will ask you to log in, then take you to the regular site where you must log in again so you don't get suspicious that you just got your information phished.
Oh, and I was also told the fake Blizzard email's link was a fake ransomware leading to fake Microsoft call centers' phone numbers for a "fix". So... yeah. Don't click those. They're like, never real. You can actually check the email address before opening them on a lot of email sites, and usually they don't match at all with who they claim to be sending from. A ".com" instead of a ".net" and the reverse are telltale signs of a fake email. kyo's right. That, and if you just don't have an account with who they claim to be. I don't have a Hi-Rez Studios account, and my Blizzard account was connected to my junkmail email account, not my regular one.
Report them as spam and let other people know to watch out for it, that's what I do.
