Actually the cd/authentication key is located under the 3rd CD in "normal" World of Warcraft box.
In TBC it's in upper right corner, near the CDs.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

At the moment our company <SNIP> buying and selling World of Warcraft EURO/USA gold, Lineage 2 adena.

We have a lot of customers who would really pay well but a lack of gold to sell.

Now we offerering you to make some cash during your free time by helping us but collect gold for sale.

How it works : you must have a paypal account, which will be used for buing the gold. We will give you the web pages where you can buy it.

Then when you bought a certain amount of gold, in the game and server and character, specified by us, forward your paypal receipt to us so we can calculate the balance and your prifit to send you.



If this may work for you, we will send you an advanced payment (300-500$) to your paypal account (provide email) so you can buy the gold.



after this we will send you order information, example :

store link: <SNIP>

Game: World of warcraft USA

Q u o t e:
Greetings,

It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your personal World of Warcraft account. As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement of Blizzard Entertainment and World of Warcraft. If upon further investigation you are indeed attempting to obtain monetary profit against the terms of the user agreement, your account can and will be disabled. Blizzard has the right to consider legal action if necesarry, based on the severety of the action.

If you hope to avoid account suspention you should verify your personal possession of the account in question. We at Blizzard Entertainment take infractions of the user agreement quite seriously, and we must confirm the original ownership of the account. This is easily done by supplying your personal information about your account. You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email:

* Account password
* Secret Question and Answer


If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently due to suspicions of alternative ownership. We ask that during the time of the investigation you give approximately twenty-four hours of inactivity after sending a response email. This should provide enough time for Blizzard to confirm your identity and that the terms of agreement are being followed as is necesarry.

Q u o t e:
I received e-mail which had picture to it telling that I got free 60-day game card.
"Exclusive Offer! Free World of Warcraft 60-Day Pre-Paid Game Card!" from Blizzard Entertainment <blizzardentertainment@hotmail.fr>
As I think, blizzard mail comes from noreplyeu@blizzard.com right?

Anyway, clicking that picture, it asks you to login your account. I did it and not soon after I realized it might be scam. Hurryed to change password asap, login game to check anything to be missing. Nothing wrong, yet, and I hope it will stay OK.
Just warning beforehand others and not get blind of free game time ^^'

Hello Issi/Celi

This E-Mail was just found in my Realm Forum, thought you might want to make a new topic regarding this, as you're bound to have people constantly ask.

Q u o t e:
Hi all,

I would like to warn you for a fishing/scam email. Someone is pretending to be Blizzard.

they send you the following email :

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/Keller-Rellek/scam.jpg

this is the whole picture of the email:

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c64/Keller-Rellek/wrathct3.png

at first I was really excited I received a beta-key, but then I started to read what I had to submit, that can't be right. Blizzard would never ask for all details like cd-key, secret password, etc etc.

I checked the sender : acctservices@blizzardentertalnment.com (see that the "l"will be a capital "i")

Ofc everyone is smart enough not to fall for this trick, but hey better be warned twice, than loosing your account.


Now to figure out how to inform Blizzard about this...

---

I can't type the whole E-Mail out as I'm kinda busy, but could you please make sure this is alerted?

Q u o t e:
Welcome to the beta test of World of Warcraft: The Wrath of The Lich King!

We´re excited to have reached the beta-testing stage for the second expansion, and we´d be grateful to have your assistance in finalizing the content. There are a lot of new things to see and do in Azeroth, Outland and Norhtend, and we look forward to receiving any feedback you can offer. Read on to learn how to participate and thank you in advance for your support in helping us put the finishing touches on the expansion.

Getting started:
You will need to upgrade an existing retail World of Warcraft account to connect to the Wrath of yhe Lich King beta realms. Please begin by logging in to the website below with the account name and password of the retail World of Warcraft account that you play on. From there, you will be able to upgrade the retail account to an expansion beta account, which will allow you to copy characters to the test realms, download the installer, and access the beta-test forums. Upgrading to an expansion beta account does not affect your ability to continue playing on the retail realms. To participate in the beta test immediately, the retail World of Warcraft account that you´d like to use for beta testing must be active as of 9th September, 2007.

*link*

Below is the required account-upgrade key. Each game key can be used once to upgrade an active retail World of Warcraft account. The key cannot be replaced, so please ensure you use it to upgrade the account you wish to use for testing.


R7DH6K-D8ZC-6H6JY2-NGJM-K7NC28

After you have created an expansion beta account, we invite you to copy characters to our expansion realms. You will be able to copy over up to 4 level 65+ characters to travel through the Great Sea. Please note that upgrading to an expansion beta account or copying your characters will not affect your ability to continue playing on the retail realms. Go to the following URL to copy up to 4 characters to the beta test realms: *link*

Q u o t e:


***Notice of Account Investigation***


Greetings,

Offense: Violation of T.O.S paragraph 3 "Establishing an account"

You may establish one (1) user account (the "Account") on the Service for each Authentication Key you receive from Blizzard. To establish an Account, you will be required to provide Blizzard with certain personal information and the Authentication Key provided to you by Blizzard. Your failure to supply accurate information to Blizzard when requested, or to update that information as it changes, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.


During the registration process, you will be required to select a username and a password that are unique to the Account (collectively referred to hereunder as "Login Information"). You may not share the Account or the Login Information with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in the Account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to the Account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Blizzard.

If a player is found to have shared account(s) information he/she may:

* Be temporarily suspended from the game
* Have further action taken, up to and including account closure, based on the intent of the account information sharing.

Access to the World of Warcraft account, and any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, may have account suspension or closure occur. The account has been reported as having shared account information and thus is in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.

Please review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html, which you accepted when you installed World of Warcraft and established the account(s).

As a result, the account(s) must be verified for proof of ownership. As stated in paragraph 3 of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use, to establish an Account, you will be required to provide Blizzard with certain personal information and the Authentication Key provided to you by Blizzard.

The list of said personal information required is as follows:

* Account name
* First and last name
* Secret Answer

By not responding to this email, verification of account owner can not be made and in doing so account suspension and/or closure will occur to the account(s) involved in the investigation.

Any disputes or questions concerning this account action can only be addressed by the World of Warcraft Account Administration department. To learn more about how Account Administration is able to assist you, please visit us at http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowaa/.

Q u o t e:
First off I hope this is the correct forum to post these kind of things.
Second, if its not then please accept my apology :P

Anyways time to get to the point!
As most ppl know scam mails to steal your acc info have been circulating for a while now.
But just the other day my guild was targeted by a scam. In a for me and my guildies all new way.
Unfortunate for some of our members the scam got them :(
What happend was that a person posing as wanting to join our guild wrote a very short application on our forum.
In the application he excused this by saying that he had allready written a long application to our guild on the official wow-europe forum. And then he supplied a link to that forum post. A link that for the unknowing looked completely legit. Wich of course it wasnt. Instead it lead to a site posing as the wow-europe forum login... Well Im sure you can guess the rest of the story from that on...
He faked the link by exploiting the BB code on our forum.

Ill paste a copy of this scam application so you know what to look out for and dont fall for the same thing.

Q u o t e:
Gonnar, Prot Warrior
Hello. Sorry for being very lazy, but I already made application to your topic at offical WoW forums. Please read it, I got IMO good gear (full epic) and got full Kara, Gruul, SSC and TK experience.
Here is my application http://forums.wow-europe.com/board.html?forumId=1089&sid=1

But in reallity the link lead to this place <SNIP>

The BB code he used to fake the link was:
<SNIP>

So for all the guild forum admins out there that I hope read this. Make sure to disable this kind of BB code or similar ways to post links on your forums. Or at least on the forum where ppl post their applications!

It is with regret that we take this type of action, but it is in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game. After your suspension has expired, you will be able to access the World of Warcraft servers again.

To protect the account’s security, we have also reset your password and issued you with a computer generated one, which you will receive in a separate e-mail. You will be able to change this password at your leisure, using the Account Management feature on our web site, located at: http://www.wow-europe.com/en/

Q u o t e:

subject: Wrath of the lich King - Beta Signup
from: Betawotlk@blizzard.com
date: 2008-feb-22 13:57
sent by: <snip>

Q u o t e:

Greetings!

You have been chosen to become a participant for our upcoming World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich King!
The beta will commence in a month from now, and we are accepting applicants for the closed beta until February 31th.

However, if you are the original owner of your World of Warcraft account, you are granted a spot in the beta.
All you need to do is to confirm your account, but hurry!
Time is limited, and we have a selected amount of spots to fill for the beta testing period.

To accept the beta and confirm that you are the original owner of your account, you need to visit www.wow-europe.com/wotlkbeta/id=327924 and fill in your account information. It will take about 2-3 work days before you will receive any response.

Please do not share this website in any way. If you do, your account can and will be suspended.

Sincerely,

Blizzard Entertainment Inc
Account Administration Team
P.O Box 18979, Irvine, CA 92623

As you see this looks like a mail sent from a blizzard e-mail address, and it want you to rush and fill out the form - granting them total access over your account. It's a scam.

How I detected it was a scam: I copied and pasted the text to the link "www.wow-europe.com/wotlkbeta/id=32792" which is not an actual link so it brought me to an error page. It actually point at "<fake site edited away to avoid accidental clicks>" which is a scamming site.

Hopefully no one has posted this warning before as I recieved the mail 8 hours ago. Just wanted to warn everyone in the community.

World of Warcraft - Account Retrieval Instructions

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account has been accessed by someone who is not allowed to use it.

1. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN AND HOW CAN I STOP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN?
Account compromises are usually a result of the registered user sharing their account, or playing on a computer that has a virus. Please remember that World of Warcraft accounts cannot be shared with anyone except one minor who you are the parent or guardian of. To help ensure that no viruses are present that may threaten your account, please regularly scan all computer systems that you use to remove all viruses, including Trojan files, spyware and key loggers. You can find links to scanners in our article about computer and internet security tips at http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=msi0504p. Also be sure to change your account
