(READ BEFORE POSTING!) Don't get your account hacked.
Now, all of us can get there account hacked, thats why i posted this thread, to make sure you know what you are doing.
First of all, its not recommended to give out your email in a thread/post , by doing that, you kind of tell the scammers "Come and get me!" , as soon as they got your email they will prob send a fake email to you and try to get your account information. And that is why you never enter your email adress in a post/thread.
A fake email can look like:
Quote:
Greetings,
An investigation of your World of Warcraft account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being sold or traded.
As you may not be aware of, this conflicts with Blizzard's EULA under section 4 Paragraph B which can be found here:
href=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/eula.html target="_blank"> WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
href=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.htmltarget="_blank"> WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use</a><br><br>
The investigation will be continued by Blizzard administration to determine the action to be taken against your account.
If your account is found violating the EULA and Terms of Use, your account can, and will be suspended/closed/or terminated.
In order to keep this from occurring, you should immediately verify that you are the original owner of the account.
To verify your identity please visit the following webpage:

Only Account Administration will be able to assist with account retrieval issues.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter, and your continued interest in World of Warcraft.
Sincerely,
Account Administration
Blizzard Entertainment

>>>> The above email wants you to enter there FAKE World of Warcraft login page, more like a PHISING SITE. When you enter you information there the owner of the phising site, recives all your information in there database.
They can also send a similar fake email, but then they can ask you to send all your information to them. And that is a complete failure if you trust that that is blizzard, BLIZZARD NEVER ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD!
And, they do not ask for any email password either.
--------------------------------------------------------
When you find a buyer/trader , always make sure you know who he is, ask him
his first and last name etc.... Then discuss the payment method/Trading method. First of all, do NOT give any account information before you recive the payment, but that depends on how the payment goes.
The safest payment method is to meet somewhere in real life.
.................................................. ............................
And of course, do not link any armory links in your post/thread, that can get your account banned.
And always make sure you trust the buyer/trader!
I guess thats all i wanted to say!
Good luck!
Regards,
Dr. Emu
