Scam Alert: World of Warcraft - Account Validation Notice

[Ren]

Today, I received a scam email from blizzardaccountvalidation@gmx.com. The email claims to be written from Blizzard and asks for your account info. You can read the whole email here.

Greetings,

It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell or trade your personal World of Warcraft account. As you may or may not be aware of, these actions conflict with the EULA and Terms of Service (TOS) of Blizzard Entertainment and World of Warcraft. If upon further investigation you are indeed attempting to obtain monetary profit against the TOS agreement, your account can and will be disabled. Blizzard has the right to consider legal action if necessary, based on the severity of the action.

If you hope to avoid account suspension you should verify your personal possession of the account in question. We at Blizzard Entertainment take infractions of the TOS quite seriously and we must confirm the original ownership of the account. This is easily done by supplying your account information below.


Please use the following template below to verify your account information via email.




*Registered Email Address:

*Account Holder's Full Name:

*Account Name:

*Account Password:

*Secret Question and Answer:

If you ignore this communication your account can and will be closed permanently due to suspicions of alternative ownership. We ask that during the investigation you give approximately twenty-four hours of inactivity after sending a response email. This should provide enough time for Blizzard to confirm your identity and that the TOS are being followed as outlined.
