Hi, I just got an E-Mail from Blizzard. It says that there's an investigation on my account saying that they (blizz) have reason to believe that the account has been sold or stolen, and that I need to follow a link to verify my information. I tried to follow the linb, but it led to a cata beta opt in page, and i couldn't figure out what to do. The account hasn't been sold or stolen, but I've played through a proxy a few times, and I suspect that's what the problem is.

Yes, I know, I'll stop.

Anyways, I need to clear this up before my account gets destroyed! Help please.

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: {EDIT} Blizzard staff will verify your account information submitted in two days, please do not modify your account information
during this time . It will not affect your game uptime.If you are unable to successfully verify your password .using the
automated system, please contact Billing & Account Services at 1-800-59-BLIZZARD (1-800-592-5499) Mon-Fri, 8am-8pm Pacific
Time or at [email protected]. Account security is solely the responsibility of the account holder. 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.

Oh, I guess it says to call if the link doesn't work, I'll try that. If I could get directions on the automated way though that would be great, I know the phones are busy over there... Thanks.

Yes, the email was a phishing attempt, Crylexan.
