Account Permanently Disabled

After searching this forum, I have discovered I am not the only one with the problem I am having...

I recently decided to re-activate my account but am having a problem. Upon logging into the account management area of the website, I am taken to a web page with the following:

This account has been permanently disabled. For more information please contact [email protected].

I have emailed the address early last week but have received no reply. Now, the account I am having an issue with is not the account I am posting this with. If I try to even log in to the forums with my "disabled" account, it tells me I am not allowed to post because of an inactive account. However, in attempting to log in to the forums, I believe I have discovered why my account was flagged as permanently disabled. After logging in to the forums (with the bad account info), it asks me to select a character to post as. The list of available characters is HUGE! I know I only created 5 of the 30-ish listed. My account has apparently been compromised.

In others' posts with this same problem, Blizzard reps have asked the user to scan their system for viruses and other male-ware. I have ran 4 different virus scans on my current setup even though I don't feel that would actually do much. I have not played WoW in 6-ish months and in that time, replaced my computer. The replaced, old computer is still in use by myself but both my new and old systems have been re-formatted so whatever software was used to discover my info shouldn't exist on my current systems. I actually JUST installed WoW on my new system last week and have since only played around with this trial account I am now using to post with.

I would like to know what could be done about this... I don't know if I am suppose to share my account name on here or not so I won't say it unless instructed by a Blizzard rep. But I do feel it safe to include my characters' names in this post (the characters that I made and rightfully own):

Veleh - Doomhammer
Crystina - Doomhammer
Veleh - Black Dragonflight
Squodo - Black Dragonflight
Jepod - Black Dragonflight

I am a bit worried that all my equipment is gone. I hope that something could be done about that too... but my hopes aren't high on that...

If I could get that account re-enabled, I will happily change my password and even convert it to a Battle.Net account.

Thanks ahead of time.

The only folks that can look at this now are Account Administration, Viele.

I am not seeing any emails from that accounts' registered email address, you do need to write from the one on the account. Account Admin won't be able to pursue this for you from any other email.

Should you need to change that, a call to Billing would be in order.

I'd say that's most likely why you haven't heard back - either we haven't received this, or we weren't able to match it up to your account.
