When i got my first scammed account i was like wtf. Offcourse i panicked and screw it up and end up loosing it. After many accounts i know what to do. You can do 3 things
( Offcourse there are hundreds things to do with it but these are the most important)
1.
Make it legit. When making it legit you got 3 options.
1.1 If you email scammed him you can try his WOW pass to his email and make it legit. This sadly is only ****ing good luck.
1.2
Phone blizzard and make them to change the email by saying you cant access to your email anymore. Offcourse you need all infomartion to do this like SQA.
1.3 If your too afraid to change account to legit via phone then you can to this.
The scammed account must be level 70 and you need to trade for another account. Go to markeedragon and put up WTT and your information. When you got someone who is willing to trade but before you guys share the account name and pass tell that guy to change the email to your email so he wouldnt be able to snatch it back. After he has changed to email to you he pretty much wants you to change email to his email. So pretend to do it i think he believes it. After then just share the information and now you got legit account that he cant change its password.
2 Get the gold
2.1 If the guys account is on the same realm and same faction just send gold via mail.
2.2 If its same realm but different faction just put overpriced junk into neutral auction and buy it with the scammed account.
2.3 If its different realm then just go to some gold selling website that also buys gold and sell the gold there. Then with the money you got you can buy gold to your legit account or do something else such as keep it.
3. BAN his account for the kicks.
