Fearmydots, that is a fairly common phishing attempt. Our Support staff would have the Blizz icon next to their name and their chat will usually open a separate window.

If you receive these types of messages please right click on the chat line and select: Report For: Spamming.

That will place them on a temporary ignore so they do not continue to contact you as well as forward a report to have it looked into. This type of contact is usually done from compromised accounts so it also serves to help alert the registered user of the account so they can start the recovery process.
