New account confirmation requirements (?)

[blukkiee]

I just received this E-Mail. It's not a faker though, I checked everything for that.

Greetings,

We are sending you this email to inform you that your account <...> has been suspended until such time that the ownership of the account has been confirmed.

In order for us to release the account to you, we will require a new submission, adhering to the guidelines below:

1. A picture with both the ID document, and your account's original CD key sticker, in one frame.
2. A picture of your ID, with a written note next to it, with the text "To account administration"
3. A picture of yourself, holding up the ID card. (Text must be legible and face visible).

While these requirements may seem overly strict, we consider it to be of vital importance that no account be unrightfully claimed by an impostor. As such, these measures are necessary.

Again, in order to submit your ID, please send us:

- A fax, scan or digital image of nationally recognised photo ID, such as passport or drivers license.

and

- The last 4 numbers of the credit card you are using on this account or a picture of the game card used, if you use those.

IMPORTANT: Also include your full Name, Address, Account Name and E-mail Address and send it via one of the following methods:

E-Mail:

[email protected]

Fax:

As soon as we have this information we will be able to progress the resolution of this matter for you.


Should you have other questions or concerns, feel free to contact us again.

We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft!

The new things I am pointing towards:

1. A picture with both the ID document, and your account's original CD key sticker, in one frame.
2. A picture of your ID, with a written note next to it, with the text "To account administration"
3. A picture of yourself, holding up the ID card. (Text must be legible and face visible).

is all fake. Blizzard is run out of Irvine, California in the USA.

[blukkiee]

It's real.. my account also got suspended.
I'm EU, so that it is from France is perfectly right.

[Krazzee]

hmm, in the suspension messages, and perma ban messages that they send to me, they never, ever, ask for that information.

[blukkiee]

That's why I'm weirded out, because I've never seen it either in my suspensions
Also, this account has been frozen for 2-3 months...

Did you, TwisterX, actually read the whole thread, including all posts and the message the thread opener quoted in the opening post?

I guess you did not.

Well, it's look legit to me. Maybe asking in the Blizzard "banstick" forums would help. There you could ask if the e-mail is fake or not, I'm sure you'll get a blue post true answer!

[Ariakan]

Sounds anal hopefully its fake

[var]

Sounds fake...Blizz wouldn't need the Activation Key and stuff, would it?

[Demonkunga]

I've seen that email before.
It seems pretty real, but you're part of MMOwned.com, don't be fooled so easily.
I'm not saying weather it is real or fake, but good luck.

[2dgreengiant]

call them and ask them about it
