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: WoW -> Legal -> End User License Agreement
and Section 8 of the Terms of Use found here:
WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use
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,

Thnx for sharing! Its good article so I am gonna leave comment for now, however, article points reader to gold selling site which is something I am strongly against.
So I use this opportunity to WARN READERS not to use gold selling services in WoW or any other game!
This is why I got the Blizz Authenticator for my account. Now, I’m pretty much scam-immune even if I were to supply account details (which I would NEVER EVER EVER do)
Good thinking. BTW there is iPhone / iPod free application from Blizzard that has same functionality as Authenticator. Search for: Blizzard in Apple Appstore.
