I just had a random email from someone pretending to be Blizzard just thought i would give people a heads up:

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.
If this proves to be true, your account can and will be disabled. It will be ongoing for further investigation by Blizzard employee's.
Blizzard might consider taking legal actions against your crime, if it seems too be of an extreme nature.
If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment takes these sales
quite serious. 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 verfiy your account and information via email.
* First and Surname
* Address
* Zip code
* Phone number Daytime
* Country
* Account e-mail
* CD-key, alternative a photograph of your CD-key that is located on your manual for World of Warcraft.
* Account name
* Account password
* Secret Question and Answer

If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently.
We ask you to NOT change password until the investigation is fully completed.

check the header and see what IP it was sent from, forward the mail to the responsible ISP for that IP address. I bet nothing will happen, but the thought of the scammerkid COULD get his internet shut down makes me happeeh ^__^

Should be next to impossible to get scammed if you just keep one thing in mind... BLIZZARD WILL NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD.

Of course Antivirus and a proper web browser helps as well :P Never use iexplore6.

Not sure what kind of action you can take against these guys but posting this on the wow-europe forums would be nice for people who might be gullible :)
