if you really believe this then you clearly didn't read even gaia's most basic rules that apply for all account using games or websites. NEVER give out you info. they don't need a password to get into your account. this is very clearly fake.

To prove account ownership, they would most likely ask for a faxed or scanned ID. When an account is stolen, they require a fax or scanned governmental issued ID. It would make no sense for the real blizzard to ask those questions. If they were investigating you for buying or selling accounts, any and all that information could be supplied from the seller to the buyer. Defeats the whole purpose of asking the questions to being with. xp

I could be wrong though, but I still find that email shady at best.

edit: On another note, it says the investigation would be dropped if that information is provided. Blizzard does not drop investigations, they state they complete their investigation instead.

Changing the pass would be useless if he actually sent that info. The secret question and the wow cd-key can auto reset it on their website, and you cant change the CD key nor the secret questions.

Othgan may sound like a jerk but he is 100% right, Blizzard NEVER asks for passwords. They even have it on the loading screen. The whole thing just breathes scam to me, but depending on your age you might want to keep an eye on other things. If you used time cards to pay for your account you should be fine but if you or a parents used PayPal or credits cards keep an eye on statements, they have all that info now.

@Mephisto I'm sorry that Blizz has shafted you and your husband multiple times not to be rude but if the service is so crummy why keep playing?
