account hijacking (was forum=82)Follow

someone has gotten into blizzards acounts, please be aware of this, i havent played in over 9 months on WoW, i got a add from blizzard for 5 free trial days, then the next day i got this letter:
account closed: Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation - Economy Exploitation After a thorough investigation, we have found that a player of the account listed above participated in activities designed to gain an unfair advantage in the World of Warcraft economy.
i didnt even log on in over 9 months. so someone at blizzard either stole account info and is giving it out, or someone hacked them, be aware of this blizzard has not responded to my emails, and of course you cant call them on this.

So this means all of your accounts and credit card info is in jepordy... watch your accounts, including bank account info. I changed banks and accounts becuse of this. Its probably someone who got fired from them and is trying to get them back.

Umm, isn't the trial 14 days? Sounds to me like you got a phishing scam and clicked on a link, thus opening yourself up to some gold farmer having their merry way with your account.

Correction: Per their actual site here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=20590, it's either 10 or 14 days, you got scammed imo.

So I got fired from Blizzard last week for playing WoW when I was supposed to be coding the new expansion pack. But I showed them, I made off with a ton of account infos and credit cards on my usb stick.

Just the other day I emailed some guy and then logged in and took over his account. It was so cash. I'll do it again in a week. It is my epic plan to ruin Blizzard.

Could've sworn they had some goblin create a transmogrifier and turn them into the hamsters used for power.
