I received this email this morning, but it was NOT sent to any email account linked to my warcraft/battlenet.

I am posting it here to make others aware that it is a scam email. It nearly got me as I have recently transfered, so I was a bit concerned until I realised which email it had been sent too.

From: noreply@blizzard.com
Subject: World of Warcraft Account Notice
To: [not my battlenet email]


Greetings,

An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded.
As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:
WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use

The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account.
If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.

To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:

Only Account Administration will be able to assist with account retrieval issues.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter,
and your continued interest in World of Warcraft.

Sincerely,


Account Administration
Blizzard Entertainment
