So I'm not sure what has happened, but someone with the name of Blizzpearl had sent me a tell in-game on the Lothar server a couple minutes ago. This person made a claim that I had ventured upon a currency trading violation in the game. This of course, is not true, I have only been recieving money through mail from friendly people and other such non-illegal ways in the game. This Blizzpearl had said to go to my account, which I did, but was either looking in the wrong place, because I could not find any information about an infraction, or this person was trying to hack/steal/whatever.

The only moderately wierd thing that could be attached to this tell if it is indeed true, would be that yesterday a player had said they were quitting WoW and wanted to give someone thier money, I had asked for it and recieved it an hour later. This might be the cause of the stir of the violation, but the few things I want to know are:

Is Blizzpearl a real GM?

Where can I find information about fradulent activities in my account information?

Thank you in advance to anyone who is helpful in helping me determine wether this is real or not.

Those are ALL frauds - and if they sent you to a website you had to give information to - change your password NOW.

Immediately.

Then - scan your system for malware.

If we ever message you ingame for any reason - there will ALWAYS be a blue Blizzard logo by our name.

Q u o t e:
Thank you for the help guys, this name did not have a blue hue to it, and it did not open it's own window like you say.

I couldn't report it this time, because I exited the game before that. I immediately went to check my account and made no hesitation to change my password. Damn hackers will try anything, it seems.

Literally ANYTHING. Lie, cheat, steal, scam - ANYTHING.

Trafficking in illicit virtual goods is a multi-BILLION dollar a year business, and the vast majority of what they traffic is stolen goods.

It's big.....organized....business.
