"Just removing" the Authenticator isn't an option, Biodoom. While we do very much want to provide assistance, it is necessary to take the appropriate steps to enact a change to your account.

It sounds like you've received appropriate instructions via email, and it's best that you follow those instructions and contact our Billing & Account Services department directly. If you are unable to call, you may be able to arrange for the removal of the Authenticator by emailing [email protected] with the appropriate information.

We've also commented on this situation in our sticky here:

Q u o t e:
If an Authenticator needs to be removed from your account, please call 1-800-59-BLIZZARD or email [email protected] from the account’s registered email address to request assistance. In some situations, a Billing & Account Services or Technical Support forum representative may be able to assist, but phone calls and email are the preferred methods of contact. (Also, as it may be necessary to complete and submit a copy of the Terms of Use Form (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=26361) along with a photo ID, we recommend bookmarking this form for later reference).


It sounds like your account might have been compromised as well? If that is the case, then it would probably be a wise idea to carefully review these threads as well:
