Greetings!
It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your personal World of Warcraft account(s).
As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement.
If this proves to be true, your account can and will be disabled. It will be ongoing for further investigation by Blizzard Entertainment's employees.
If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account ownership.
If the information is deemed accurate, the investigation will be dropped.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment take these sales
quite seriously. We need to confirm you are the original owner of the account.
This is easiest done by confirming your personal information along with concealed information about your account.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email with:
Use the following template below to verify your account and information via email.

we will reply to your e-mail informing you that we have dropped the investigation.
We ask you to NOT change password until the investigation is fully completed.

Yeah, I have an old hotmail e-mail that is FULL of those emails from "@bliz" and such... Get ready to get more killi, they will multiply as your email address gets resold.

My old hotmail was the address I used for the account that Lil' brittle was on.

Of course I'm sure you guys have heard this a million times from your IT guys at work. But you will NEVER get an email from an IT professional asking for your password, and if you do he may be asking you to come to the office to type it in for him. A good IT pro never wants to know your password, because it releases him from lots of liability should a security breach happen through your account.
