Last night I received an email from blizzard stating my account was up and running and I had purchased warlords of draenor. Thing is, I have not had an active subscription since November, and the card that was listed was not mine. Partially this is my fault because though I do have an authenticator I had taken it off for some reason, however, as soon as I got the email I immediately logged in (the hacker didn't have enough time to change my email/pass fortunately) and added it, and all my characters are still there.

However, it still shows my account as having warlords of draenor despite me having never bought it. Maybe I just got lucky and was able to add my authenticator in time? I have submitted a support ticket to hopefully get this straightened out.

Might be a phishing scam. I get e-mails from Blizzard often and I never created a account with them. I just label it as a scam and go on about my day. I suggest you change your password immediately.

Okay, I received a response and they took away my WoD upgrade, I also deleted the CC that the hacker used from my account. Everything looks back to normal. Though I do now have a level 90 druid on a realm I never had any characters on. However since blizzard corrected it I can't play with the character. When I try to it says the character is locked due to billing issues; makes sense.

Phishers generally don't purchase games for you using their own money

My 90 Mage and 90 Priest are parked till the WoD expansion launches... I cancelled my account last month.

Still have my authenticator on though... just in case.

I was hacked quite a few years ago on my WoW account. My stupidity using the same password for everything....games, websites, etc. I probably was an idiot and fell for a phishing site along the way. It took me a few days to get it back. I immediately ordered an authenticator too.

These days I'm much more savvy about security. I'm always amazed at all the phishing emails I get. The sites look quite authentic however I always see some grammatical error that sets it apart from the real thing.

Right and they don't trick people by any means necessary to take information from them.

You want to tell me why I'm invited to a beta test? The links provided in the e-mail are often redirected to fake sites that is a replica of Blizzard.
