Got an email from blizzard.. a bit like this:

Ehm, you understand that email is NOT from Blizzard and you didn't actually reply to it did you? Oo

 

[Lonei]

Maybe they will come visit and personally hand your account back to you

 

[Merlijn]

Sigh indeed.. people who fall for this deserve to have their account hacked.

Read the tips during logging in already.. one of them being : "A Blizzard employee will NEVER ask you for you password!"

also "P.O. Box 18979, Irvine, CA 92623" is located in the USA. Now why would they contact you from there if they have a European depermant to sort these things as well?

 

[Jazende]

Maybe they will come visit and personally hand your account back to you

With a cake?!

 

[Joy]

But seriously, you didn't really email your password freely over the interwebs to some vague email address right? Oo

Still hoping you posted that email because you received it at the same time, coincidentally....

 

[Braque]

Greetings Customer. We have reason to believe someone is trying to steal your credit card. Please send all your bank and credit card details, including PIN numbers and passwords, to me.

Cheers.

 

[Gloryfool]

OMG Braque quick tell me where to send all my details and pin numbers!

ofcourse i didn't give them the friggin password, what do you think i am....? :x i have no idea what to do, emails changed info's changed, only way they can track its my account is probably via my debit card that 'was' on there, (its not now btw). Phone lines currently conjested so what the hell can i do? theres apsolutely nothing i can do, and i can't really remember my secret questions as im not one to forget my password.

sigh this is knacked man...and actually the email was from @Blizzard.... and on the support sites etc which i read before applying it said that if thats the case then its safe to reply, although i refused to give them my password and even so they couldnt have got onto my account so i have no idea how they managed it....

so cheesed of..:< wtb authenticator

 

[Ayu]

Have you done a system scan?

 

[Joy]

ofcourse i didn't give them the fucking password, what do you think i am....?

Read your OP again, it's extremely unclear what you mean/did.

i can't really remember my secret questions as im not one to forget my password.

This is actually a very common mistake, people input a secret question that is so secret they don't know it themselves, just keep it simple and use the same one everywhere in case they actually want you to repeat the question itself! Of course this is not optimal security, but I feel it's a good security tradeoff to make. Yes I realise this doesn't help Moy in this case, but others can learn from it.

sigh this shits knacked man...and actually the email was from @Blizzard

Mail can be spoofed by anyone, there's no authentication system built into it, never trust a sender address.

.... and on the support sites etc which i read before applying it said that if thats the case then its safe to reply, although i refused to give them my password and even so they couldnt have got onto my account so i have no idea how they managed it....

This is ridiculous, which support site claims it's ok to reply with your password??

 

[Lebuff]

Here is the official account retrieval wizard http://eu.blizzard.com/support/webform.xml?locale=en_gb
If you lose control over your account that is where the official blizzard mail should send you.

When I got hacked, Ayu made a thread on the official forums to mock me and everyone stood around me in a circle, pointing at me, laughing.... It was so sad

Haha, yeah, I remember that.

I did never reveal your name though, I photoshopped it to be "Pink".
