World of Warcraft -- Account Issue‏
From: noreply@blizzard.com (noreply@blizzard.com)
Sent: 22 February 2010 15:03:49

***Notice of Account Will Closure***

Reason for Closure: Terms of Use Violation -- Exploitative Activity: Unauthorized Cheat Programs ("Hacks")

This account Will closed because one or more characters were identified using an unauthorized cheat program, also known as a "hack." These programs provide character benefits normally not achievable in the World of Warcraft. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, increased speed, teleportation, or running through walls/boundaries. Use of these unauthorized programs harm the game environment because they offer an unfair advantage over other players and superscede the intended limits of the game.

Even if this behavior is the result of a third party accessing the account instead of the registered user (for example, a friend, family member, or leveling service) then the account can still be held responsible for the penalty because of the impact it had on the game environment.

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: http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com/

We've found the above behavior is many times directly related to groups responsible for compromising World of Warcraft accounts; we take these issues very seriously. To better understand our position against exploitative activity and the risks involved, please review this article:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/antigold.html

The exploitative activity that took place on this account violates the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask you take a moment to review these terms at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html. Any recurring subscriptions on this account have been suspended to prevent further monetary charges.

For any disputes of this action, please visit the Exploitative Activity FAQ and Contact page here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/exploitfaq

Regards,

Blizzard Entertainment
www.worldofwarcraft.com



All of which I shall ignore for now, it's an odd email.

Seems to me all you'd have to do is get banned and straight copy the email from blizzard.

What I don't get is how they made it appear sent from blizzard.com, and how they redirect the link.

This is all assuming I am not banned, which should be fairly obvious if it's real.

You can put at "From:" anything you want, as much time there is no SPF on both sender and receiver. You can send email yes as bill.gates@microsoft.com.

The real information you get if you look in the source code of email and headers.

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:

In fact, looking through my mail, they seem to be proliferating. Annoying.

Says section 4 of the EULA and 8 of the ToS, different things.
I do suspect they copy real emails and just change the links.
