Hi,

I received an email that is suppose to come from World of Warcraft Account Administration saying that my account was under investigation and under strong evidence that it was being sold, wich is false.

Here is what the email looks like:


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: Removed

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,

Kennalith
Account Administration

I dont think its a true email and this seem like a phising site so I wanted to let everyone know to be suspicious of such an email.

Definitely a phish, Shaali. I removed the link in the mail as it was definitely not to one of our registered domains. If you could, please forward that e-mail to us at hacks@blizzard.com and, if possible, include the full headers.
