I've been getting e-mails like the one I'm posting if anyone gets something similar please note it's a fake. Blizzard needs none of this info to verify an account.

From:wowaccoufadmin@gmail.com/wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com
Subject:donotreply@blizzard.com

Greetings!
It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your personal World of Warcraft account(s).
As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement.
If this proves to be true, your account can and will be disabled. It will be ongoing for further investigation by Blizzard Entertainment's employees.
If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account ownership. If the information is deemed accurate, the investigation will be dropped.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment take these sales
quite seriously. We need to confirm you are the original owner of the account.
This is easiest done by confirming your personal information along with concealed information about your account.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email with:

Use the following template below to verify your account and information via email.
* First and Surname
* Date of birth
* Address
* Zip code
* Phone number
* Country
* Account e-mail
* Account name
* Account password
* Secret Question and Answer or Cd-Key

If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently. Once we verify your account, we will reply to your e-mail informing you that we have dropped the investigation.
We ask you to NOT change password until the investigation is fully completed.

BTW, having the little number generator thingy that gives you a number to type in after your password is well worth the $6.50 and the five minutes it takes to order it.

Just don't lose your thingy, and you won't have to worry about account hackage.

Blizzard has said many times that they will NEVER ask you for your password.

Thanks for the heads up though.

And yet thousands of people fall for this sort of thing all the damn time, it's really kind of amazing how guileless we can be.
