    Not sure if appropriate section =.='

    An email named 'wowaccountadmin' instantly triggers my reaction of calling bull* but it does end with '@blizzard.com'
    Aswell as it actually wants me to reply to that very email adress, rather then put in my info on some site.
    This made me wonder about how they havent just 'masked' their actual email, but are able to recieve mails from it aswell.

    Bottomline: Legit mail from blizzard? If not, how did they register a @blizzard.com mail?

    Greetings!
    It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your personal World of Warcraft account(s).
    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 Entertainment's employees.
    If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account ownership. If the information is deemed accurate, the investigation will be dropped.
    This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment take these sales
    quite seriously. 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:

    Use the following template below to verify your account and information via email.
    * First and Surname
    * Date of birth
    * Address
    * Zip code
    * Phone number
    * Country
    * Account e-mail
    * Account name
    * Account password
    * Secret Question and Answer
    -Or-
    WoW CD-Key
    Show * Please enter the correct information
    If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently. Once we verify your account, we will reply to your e-mail informing you that we have dropped the investigation.
    We ask you to NOT change password until the investigation is fully completed.

    As for how they got my email I'm also curious; It being that I've never believed in fairytail gamecard keygen generators, I have an antivirus, and the only company I once thought of renting my account to was over a month ago to buysellwow, which never went through anyhow.

    Its fake, blizzard never asks for that stuff. It's just a phisher to get your info. They can send emails looking like blizzard but its not really them.

    They get your email with programs like atomic email hunter, or from spam lists, or from email accounts they've taken over with you on the mailing list, etc.

    Also, you should read scam section more, if only to protect yourself!! Blizz states right on the loading screen (if player tips are enabled) that they NEVER ask for your password other than when you are actually logging into the game. They have everything they need to know on file, and if not, they simply penalize the account and there is nothing to guess about at that point. :P
