I received this email today from [email protected]:


Q u o t e:
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.

Account security is solely the responsibility of the accountholder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives typically must lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play.

What is the evidence exactly? I am assuming it is a mistake but I would like more details please.

As a few players have already stated, the e-mail you've posted, Smitt, is a phishing e-mail. Please avoid visiting any links provided within that e-mail as they may lead to malicious sites.

If you have already followed the instructions provided in that e-mail, then I suggest that change the password for your account immediately, and it would probably be a good idea to review the following sticky post for a few computer/account security recommendations:

Finally, we would appreciate it if you would forward any phishing e-mails that you receive in the future to [email protected].
