There are a lot of them going around, all scams. Here is the one i got.

Greetings,

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded. As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard's 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 can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.

To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:

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.


Sincerely,

Account Administration

>.> They have a huge online list, they check different areas and PM. I highly doubt you could ever consider yourself special, unless it&#39;s in a classroom :lol: :P

It&#39;s written somewhere in the legal jargin on WoW&#39;s website that Blizzard entertainment will never ask for your account name or password via email. Or ingame for that matter. so any email asking for that info is obviously a fake.

If you guys receive an email from Battle Net, don&#39;t discard it.

My account just got hacked, someone attached it to their Battle Net account and changed info.

So, make sure you double check your information when you receive one of those emails.

Just sucks I have to wait till Monday to get my account back, Blizz ain&#39;t open on weekends <_< lol

[KrepiN]

not playing wow...
get them too

[Private]

they can just get ur email off of a forum like this or any other im assuming thats wat ur asking about right ? its a pretty simple program that does it automatically

alot of holes in forums when it comes to that and a few very good programs out there i&#39;ve done it in my past there are programs that just scan the site itself , then there are private programs that actually scan the registry and usually get 80%+ of the users emails
