Hate to break it to you, perhaps blizzard are getting more involved, but that is VERY wrong.
Lemme fill you in on my last two days events.
A few weeks ago I scammed a lvl 80 priest. This char was ****ing insane, it had realm firsts, protodrakes, nearly full 8.5 for both main/offspec. Very very very nice char, I had to have it. I did the traditional bnet merged + bnet merge my acc, xfer the char $30, unmerge (help plx bliz omfg my bro merged!), and ban the other account.
A few days after doing this, i scammed an account of 9k gold (only), which i was going to sell to a chinese gold farmer.
Yesterday, I received these two emails:
Code:
Account Name: XXXXXXX
Date of Violation: 20/07/2009
Character Name Involved: [NAME OF CHAR I TOOK GOLD ON]
Type of violation: Unauthorised Access of a third-party account
Consequences for Account: Account suspended for 24 hours

5 hours later I got this:

Then I thought.. Omgwtf checked the armory and yes, the lvl 80 priest is GONE!
I followed everything to down to a T on how-to-keep-shit w.e covered my back the WHOLE way. And I've lost 9k and a pretty ****ing sick char. (Not that I actually care, lets be honest, i scammed that shit in the first place)
Now for those of you out there who are about to say "LOL YOU DIDNT DO IT RIGHT NEWBBBB!", that is if you havn't pressed reply to flame me already, all of this happened around the date of me merging my account to the scammed account. So, I thought i'd send a webform email to blizzard saying wtf is going on this DEFINATELY wasnt me you can check my acc got merged it must have been someone else. This was their response..
