Forums - PC - Wow account suspended?

My Wow account got suspended!

This is a shock to me, considering I've never played World of Warcraft.

Ever.

I don't think i've ever been in the same room as someone playing it.

So either someone opened up a Wow account under my battlenet ID... which, I shouldn't have one...

Or it's a phishing scheme.

This should prove interesting.

The latter.



It's just preemptive banning since you were going to get banned when you do play. Saves them a lot of trouble having to actually deal with you.



I get that mail every week even though I don't have a Battlenet account either.

spam

Does VGchartz use Gawker or is that just Kotaku?

No it doesn't.  Check the bottom of any Gawker site (like Kotaku) to see what all of them are.
