Default oh noes! Blizzard is threatening to ban me!

The only problem is... I've never owned nor played WoW in my life.

I get these a lot and I find them hilarious. Dumbasses.

Greetings!
We are very sorry to inform you that your account occurred in the number of illegal transactions in a very long period of time. We have not received any complaints about your transactions. But if other players send complaints about your account to us, we will permanently ban your account.

So we have issued this warning letters to you. You should go to the account management website to check your account status as soon as possible(bogus URL), you can also find them here.

Sincerely,

Bill Mushkin
Blizzard Entertainment

They could have at least bothered to use semi-proper English.

Got this from "Blizzard" in my spam mail, I also never touched WoW.

***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/.../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

I get them all the time. They go to junk mail, no big deal. If this must keep going, you should change the title to accurately reflect that it is NOT Blizzard.

EDIT: And I don't know about you, but I'm in the Cataclysm Beta apparently...lol.
