Default Someone created a Battle.net account with my email address

So I got an email today saying I had created a battle.net account for my email address. My name is not zhang, and I dont play anything on Battle.net and haven't since Diablo 2.

I have contacted Blizzard support, and changed my email password, but am wondering if anyone here was familiar with the 'scam' that is going on.

Hello zhang,

Welcome to Battle.net!

You have successfully created the following Battle.net account:

<<<my email address>>>

The Battle.net account is a centralized account system that will let you manage all of the Blizzard Entertainment games you play, including World of Warcraft and future games, in one place without having to remember multiple sets of login information.

We highly recommend that you take this opportunity to verify your e-mail address. Verifying your e-mail address will unlock extra Battle.net account features, including the ability to register Blizzard games you own so that you can download them, free of charge, any time you want. To do so, simply click here:

<<<<<email link for account activation>>>>

In addition, you may also merge any World of Warcraft accounts you play with this Battle.net account. After merging, you will log in to the game and its associated online services such as World of Warcraft Account Management, the World of Warcraft Forums, and the World of Warcraft Armory, using your Battle.net login information. You can begin the account merge process at the Battle.net account homepage, located at http://www.battle.net/account.

Please retain this e-mail for your reference.
