Diablo III e-mail Scam

This e-mail is a very good fishing attempt. It claims that you are illegally trying to sell your account, (and since you aren't, you'll assume you've been hacked and someone else is selling your account). It then says in the email that if you ignore the email, your account may be banned (trying to get you to respond without thinking about it being a scam). If I actually had the video game Diablo 3, or an account with parent company Blizzard, I might have been worried. I do not, so this is obvious to me to be a scam.

Below is the scam e-mail:
