Scam - Image 1European Blizzard Community Manager Issuntril notes in a post in the European World of Warcraft Forums that thanks to an intrepid player named Cawo, they are now aware that a bogus e-mail is being sent to players claiming that they are accused of account trading. Allegedly, the victim, er, player is required to provide their account information to avoid a permanent ban.

Issuntril confirms that this mail is not from Blizzard and he advises that all European account administration related e-mails from Blizzard come from This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and all mails from GMs come from This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Oh, and as always, the golden rule should be remembered: A BLIZZARD EMPLOYEE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD!

Just to be sure, the e-mail looks like this:

It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your personal World of Warcraft account.
As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement.
If this proves to be true, your account can and will be disabled. It will be ongoing for further investigation by Blizzard employee's.
Blizzard might consider taking legal actions against your crime, if it seems too be of an extreme nature.


If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment takes these sales
quite serious. We need to confirm you are the original owner of the account.
This is easiest done by confirming your personal information along with concealed information about your account.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email with:

* First and Surname
* Address
* Zip code
* Phone number Daytime
* Country
* CD-key, alternative a photograph of your CD-key that is located on your manual for World of Warcraft.
* Account name
* Account password
