Greetings,


An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that your account is being sold, traded, or is being used to sell in-game currency. As you may or may not be aware, this conflicts with our EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:

WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement

and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:

WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account. If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account will be suspended or terminated. In order to keep this from occurring, you should verify that you are the original owner of the account as soon as possible.

To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/login/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldofwarcraft.co m%2Faccount%2Findex.html

We obtain this information due to a variety of circumstances; some of which are:
I) User generated reports
II) A post on an account selling/trading website
III) Sudden Internet Protocol address changes

Only Account Administration will be able to assist with account retrieval issues. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, and your continued interest in World of Warcraft.

Regaurds,

I am 100% legit I have been giving my guys large amount of gold could that trigger this? same name persons acounts there all mine same credit card what do I need to do to prove this??

[keyclone]

did you follow the link and do as they request? if you are legit, just explain your situation openly

oh, and you may want to get a blizzard authenticator (link ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&postID=162475#post162475') ) to insure your accounts never get hacked

edit:
as suggested below, contacting blizzard directly is probably the best route. following the link might be an issue (looking at the link provided looked alright, but i have no idea what you received)

[pewshamanper]

I do have one ill put it on it later the authenticator im just really confused about how that could be?

[keyclone]

it might be the gold shifting around. just talk to them and see what comes of it

Never click the links on any email asking for personal details while trying to make you feel threatend. Call customer support and ask if the email is real and how you should proceed.

I received the exact same email a week ago, when i dug into the code I saw it was a phishing scam.

[-silencer-]

It looks like they just want to verify that the account isn't stolen - it was probably flagged from the gold transfers. I wouldn't click on any link in an email.. just go to the official WoW website and log into your account, then see if you can figure out where to go from there based on the email's full link. I'd guess there's a page within the WoW site to verify the account.

I would NOT click on a link in an email though - that's how idiots lose accounts, bank info, identities, etc. Someone sends you an email from an apparently-legit site, and you sign in to their site instead of the legit site, therefore handing them your login to the REAL site. The same can and has been done for WoW accounts in the past.

large gold transfers always raises eyebrows.


(i can tell the grammar's wrong)

Should I talk to billing and account services or option 2 Account banned or suspended... my account is not banned so i know dont

[Kaynin]

Sounds like phasing. If your account isn't banned, the email is fake and likely sends you so a site that looks like the loging site of WoW, but instead it's a copied site which would store the login details should you attempt to log in there.

And when you do, THEN your account will be hacked. :p



Besides there's a spelling mistake in the email sent to you. Smells baaaaaaad. (If you did click the link, quickly change your account passwords (pref from a diff comp you sure isnt infected with any bad shit)

As long as you didnt click on any links then just delete the email and move on with your life, it was a fake email intended to steal your login info. Blizzard does not send emails like that.

[pewshamanper]

It was from noreply@blizzard.com that is what worries me, which i get a lot of emails from since my gm sucks at looting and always gives to wrong person 8|

It was a fake email. Blizzard does not send emails like this. I'm sure you think you know where it was from but your wrong. Just delete it and move on bro.

[Basilikos]

As has been said, this is FAKE. It's a phishing attempt - DO NOT provide your account name or password via the links given in the email.

[elsegundo]

if your account is in suspicion of illegal stuffs, they'll take a note of it. if they wanna do something to it, they'd lock it first, then have you verify stuff later. this has been their practice for as long as i can remember. you guys are right, this does sound phishy and it goes against blizzard's characteristic shoot first, ask questions later philosophy.

It's too easy to abuse email servers into sending mails to people with whatever the heck kinda sender email you want it to say. (you send email to your email server, usually automatically sends your adress with it. Doesn't take a complicated hack however to send another email address as sender.

Note, email-servers do register many other things, so if someone would abuse this for illegal purposes, there are ways of tracking people down. :P


Anyhow, just know that sender in an email means jack all.


In highschool I used to send prank emails to teachers about classes that supposedly fell out using a fairly easy hack that made it appear the email came from the director of the school. I was such a baaaaad boy. :< It worked a few times too. And they never found the culprit! >:P

[Sajuuk]

As has been mentioned, you're being phished.

Don't put in any information.

If you have doubts, remember if you log into account management from the World of Warcraft site, you get redirected to a blizzard domain.

[Basilikos]

Also, forward the email to hacks@blizzard.com (as per the CSF stickies) so that the kind people at Blizzard can try to figure out who did this.

[blast3r]

Blizzard would never spell "Regards" wrong. In the email it is spelled Regaurds.

[pewshamanper]

Guys i must say I love you ..... I looked at the link very carful its a copied wow site with all the info sent to there server


Also, forward the email to hacks@blizzard.com (as per the CSF stickies) so that the kind people at Blizzard can try to figure out who did this.


I just sent it to them added that they spelt regards wrong

[Gares]

Also take note that all e-mail from Blizzard will contain your name on your account. IE my first name comes on all my e-mails from blizzard (Cause I report alot of dumb fucks who swear at me..whoops I just swore).

Also I think the e-mail back address is donotreply@blizzard.com as that is what it is from my GM e-mails in my inbox right now.

[Gadzooks]

Also, forward the email to hacks@blizzard.com (as per the CSF stickies) so that the kind people at Blizzard can try to figure out who did this.Pick any of the members over at MMowned.com

They practically set it up for people too lazy to do it themselves.

I don't condone *anything* they do on that site, but of you feel your computer is safe, go browse there, and you'll get a really solid feel for how they operate, and what to look out for.

They post these e-mails as templates there - and they're too stupid/lazy to take out the typos.

My wish is that now that Bliz is done with the Glider idiot, they go after these guys in a BIG way.

The scammer's current favorite is the one you got - these scumbags are the ones who stole thousands of accounts with the fake Wrath Beta sign-up e-mails and websites.

Knowledge is your *best* defense.
