Genious, how did you come up with this. Definitely +Rep!
By the way; Does it work?
2 things to remember:
There are 2 places where you should replace 'your address here' with your website, and if you want to add something threatening about being banned if you don't respond, delete the line about spoof e-mails doing that. Anyway, enjoy.
Another EDIT: In case you can't figure it out, if you just do blizzard.com, and then hyperlink THAT to another site it is even more believable.
EDIT: Also, the reason you don't ask for password is because with that much info you can just recall the account anyway. Although, if you wanted to ask for it straight up, you should edit out the lines about not asking for a password etc. lol

*IMPORTANT* - Account Security
Your account security is of the utmost importance. As such, we want to equip our customers with the knowledge they need to ultimately ensure their account, their characters, and their valuable in-game items remain safely in the right hands. We recommend that everyone read and follow the helpful tips on this e-mail to ensure that their computers and accounts remain secure.
The vast majority of account compromises originate from one of three sources:
1. "Spoof" websites and emails
2. Downloading hacks, cheats, or other executable content
3. Sharing account information and/or using power-leveling services
See below on this page for more information on these and other increasingly common scams, as well as information keeping yourself safe.
"SPOOF" WEBSITES AND EMAILS
This term refers to an email or a website, typically sent to a large number of players, which pretends to be officially from Blizzard, but is really a trick to get unsuspecting users to send their account information. If account information is sent to one of these "spoofs", it usually winds up in a thief's database list of accounts to steal.
How to identify a spoof site or email:
* It asks for your account name AND PASSWORD (Blizzard will never ask you for your password through e-mail!)
* Often they promise you will be banned if you do not provide the information demanded
* Conversely, they may promise "special features" like free items or character changes if you comply
How to keep them from stealing your password:
If it's an email, forward it to our official address -- PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS HERE -- and do NOT reply at all unless our Billing staff actually confirms for you that the message is legitimate.
DOWNLOADING ADDONS, HACKS/CHEATS, & EXECUTABLES
Viruses, 'trojan' applications, and key-logging software can all steal your World of Warcraft information, in addition to anything else on your computer once it has been compromised. These sorts of threats are typically brought into the system and installed by "executable" programs.
An "executable" program is something you download and then you run it as its own program
- as opposed to opening a file or a folder. You can tell if a program is an executable if its file name ends in EXE. You can also right-click the file and choose "Properties." If the "File Type" says "Application," then that file is an executable.
Hackers and account thieves like to put their viruses, keyloggers, etc into executable files and then make those files very appealing to our World of Warcraft fan base, to trick users into downloading and running their programs.
GIVING OUT ACCOUNT INFORMATION -- TO *ANYONE*
Sadly, our support teams take a considerable number of inquiries from people who have lost their account solely because they at one time shared their password to a friend, spouse (or ex-spouse), roommate, relative, etc, and then had their account stolen, items sold, and characters deleted by that individual.
Most of the small-scale account thefts (those not done by a widespread hack or scam) take place because the individual *gives out* their own information to someone they believed they could trust.
This is not to say players should inherently start distrusting their friends, but your password is supposed to be yours and YOURS alone... this is part of why our Terms of Use specifically forbid sharing your login information.
Even more unfortunate is the situation Blizzard sees with many players who choose to flat-out intentionally break the Terms of Use and share their account information with a third-party service simply to have their character leveled up while they work, sleep, etc.
These services could quite feasibly try to sell off a user's items if they receive login information, and we have seen many services that people thought "reputable" wind up stealing customers' information and all their items. These businesses make their money by helping user's break the Terms of Use, devaluing play time while putting accounts at significant risk. That leaves the user and Blizzard's support team cleaning up a considerable mess.
Not to mention, if Blizzard's staff identifies any account as having been intentionally "shared" to a power-leveling services, the account is subject to immediate suspension, possibly a permanent ban.
Sharing account information is unwise and can wind up costing you everything you have worked for --and paid subscription fees-- in World of Warcraft. Don't do it!
KEEPING YOUR COMPUTER SAFE FOR THE FUTURE
Even after you get your account back, if your computer has been infected with a virus, trojan, keylogger, etc, you need to make sure it is cleaned off entirely, or your account will still be at considerable risk. You should also be certain you are using a secure password at all times as well!
Keeping your account secure relies heavily on keeping your computer secure. This can help keep your computer safe from malicious programs and person's intent on stealing private information.

Genious, how did you come up with this. Definitely +Rep!
By the way; Does it work?
Why do I need a signature?
I actually mainly used a Blizzard form about security, and just edited out the parts that might hinder the results lol.
I can't answer whether or not it works. I literally just made it this morning. Also, I'm not so into doing this stuff myself. I just like hearing stories of how stupid people are.
I would think that it should be very successful. The English is soooo much better than those other ones made in *****ia. (J/k I love *****ians.)
Very nice
But I didnt get how I would get the password...
Think about it.
If you have Full name, S Q/A, and account name....
EDIT: AND e-mail
it will be good a good combination with a phiser![]()
I would think so.
Interesting...
wow this is very good +rep
