Got this in the mail a few minutes ago:
Greetings,
It has come to our attention that your account appears to have too much money, it also appears that you may be compromised from buying gold or associated with gold dealers.
As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement.
If upon further investigation you are indeed attempting to obtain monetary profit against the TOS agreement, your account can and will be disabled. Blizzard has the right to consider legal action if necessary, based on the severity of the action.
If you hope to avoid account suspension you should verify your personal possession of the account in question. We at Blizzard Entertainment take infractions of the TOS quite seriously and we must confirm the original ownership of the account. This is easily done by supplying your account information below.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email with:
* First and Last name
* Address
* Zip code
* Phone number Daytime
* Country
* Account e-mail
* CD-key
* Account name
* Account password
* Secret Question and Answer
Account security is solely the responsibility of the accountholder. Please be advised that in the event of a compromised account, Blizzard representatives typically must lock the account. In these cases the Account Administration team will require faxed receipt of ID materials before releasing the account for play.
Feel free to contact World of Worcraft Account Administration if you have any further questions.
