Issue with the new recovery form

A buddy of mine got his account hacked somehow and tried using the new recovery form. Once he answered all of the questions, it said it was going to send him two emails. He didn't get either of them.

This is confusing because he's obviously not in the wrong email account, it has to be whatever one his bnet account is also named, right?

And the emails should be sent relatively quickly, but he's been waiting a few days and hasn't gotten a single email from blizz.


Has anyone else had success with the new form?

It's possible if his email account itself was compromised someone is intercepting, deleting or forwarding those mails, if indeed they aren't hiding out in a spam filter or being blocked somehow.

It's very important to make sure that both his system AND his email account are secure.

He could also contact our Billing department via phone if he'd like to verify we've received the form and that will also likely be necessary if his email has been compromised and he needs help either changing his Battle.net to a new address or getting back into control of the account.

I'll list their contact information below, if you could pass it on.

I'd also highly recommend he look into getting an authenticator for an extra layer of security for his account.
