***Notice of Account Closure***

This was an email I recently received. I have played WoW for a total of about a week and haven't used channels much at all. I'm only level 23, and I don't even have a character named WOW1. I didn't think numbers were allowed in character names. Either this was a mistake, or I was hacked; it was most likely the latter. Whatever the case, I'd really like some assistance. I've had a petition in for a while, and have sent two emails back to Blizzard.
