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: <malicious link 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
Blizzard Entertainment

The email you received was a phishing email, Gnomereaper.

If the account was violating our rules in any way we would suspend, lock, or ban the account and then send you an email advising you why we did so.

If you continue to receive emails of this nature you may wish to change the email address associated to the Battle.net account. Alternatively, you can check the email headers by following the instructions here:

Also, in the future, please edit out any links you feel are malicious. We can see the edits that are made to posts and we surely do not want other players to visit those sites. :)
