1 of my 3 wow accounts got removed from my battle.net
hello,
I have 1 battle.net account which included 3 wow accounts in it.
two months ago one of my wow accounts ,which I had played with a long time, was mysteriously removed from my battle.net account. I couldn't understand what was going on, so I tried battle net account recovery thing and it only made me reset my battlenet password over and over again even if it said an investigation will be done and that they will contact me through my email. But nothing happened.
So later approx. 2 weeks ago I tried the good old wow-europe web form and filled in my details correctly and included my personal ID's scan in it. and they said they will contact me from my email, which I currently possess and have never lost access to. Web form ticket number is 9293892.
What should I do?

Nice to hear.

Not that im usually an impatitent person, but i've paid my account - thats 60quid...
and yet im still waiting on even the slightest incking that my issues are being resolved.
Much love.

Hi

I stopped playing my account in September and recently wanted to start playing again, when i tried to enter game my password was changed. After using Battlenet to restore my details and secure the account i found my level 80 Priest missing from the account.

Veya . Level 80 Priest. Stormscale.

I have sent a ticket to see about getting this porblem solved, but i have recently being looking at my character on the armoury and finding that its been ingame - as recently as 4 hours ago.

I wonder if maybe i could get it back as i spent alot of time on that character for someone to just take it.

Hello,
tonight, after returning home from office I logged in and found my account has been suspended. I check my email and found 2 emails from blizzard saying it has been suspended for "spamming". Spamming? Me?
So i reset the password and finally I can login again. But all items and gold on all my chars is gone. Everything that can be selled has been sold.
So I'm half naked in SW with 50 silver left in my bag...
My main chars are Awani (85 Gnome mage) and Haanurna (84 draenei priest).
I have a mac and I it is completely clear of virus and anything.
I do not have an autenticator.
I have only the most standard addon like Titanpanel, DBM, Quartz...
(anyway I have removed ALL addons now)
I opened a ingame ticket.
Waiting for a reply.

BTW: how can i change the default char used for posting?

Thinking that the hackers used an addons to get my account data, here is the list of the addons I have installed.
The guilty must be one of them:
- ACP (Addon Control Panel)
- Auctionator
- CombustionHelper
- DBM
- Healbot
- MetaHUD (but it was disabled) with MetaHUD Options
- Omen
- oRA2
- Quartz
- Recount
- TipTac
- Titan

Got hacked today, unsure how. Luckily the hacker wasn't a "pro" apparently - it seems he left things a bit unfinished. Didn't touch character/guild banks (despite obviously visiting them), didn't vendor stuff from most chars, though deleted one character and a lot of gear from the one from which he vendored some too. Overall a bit weird hack, given how much he could've done intead of just grabbing a couple of items and the gold.

Stuff got restored already, but the question of "how" still applies. Addons COULD be to blame theoretically I guess, but all are downloaded from Curse so one would think malware would've been spotted. Nothing spotted by my malware/virus scanners. Only added one new addon recently, Ingela's Rapture. _NPCscan a bit earlier than that.

The annoying this is, back in June-July and a few times since I looked at the option of getting an authenticator. But it was sold out each time. And mobile authenticator, back then as well as now, only supports crappy phones no one probably even has anymore. Where's the support for new models (and no, iPhone version doesn't count, I wouldn't be caught dead with an iPhone)? And, of course, to top it all off, with this happening I checked... the authenticators are sold out YET AGAIN.

Posting this on behalf of a friend because obviously he can't post it.


Hey, had my account stolen on either the 8th or the 9th of January. My registered e-mail has also been hacked, I've filled out the webform and been sent to my other e-mail address an e-mail saying it's been received and I'll be informed as soon as possible, but I've heard nothing as of yet. Whenever I go onto the WoW-Europe site I can still see my character as if I'm logged in, but if I try to go to account or anything it asks for an authenticator, which I've never used (my own stupid fault) so I'm certain it's been hacked. My main character has been cleared of all gear and I can only assume the bags and bank have been cleared. Guild mats were stolen too.

Character: Krimpus
Realm: Dragonmaw

Was just wondering if there's any sort of estimated waiting time? I've seen some people almost instantly get sorted, and some wait nearly 3 weeks. Just trying to figure out if it'll be possible at all to get my account back.

Thanks in advance.

Royky It would appear that the investigation has been completed. :)

I hope that you managed to recover the items that went missing and are able to continue adventuring again!

Lylobo I'm really pleased to see that everything got sorted for you and I would also suggest that it would be worth getting an authenticator! If you wish to pass on your feedback, then you are very welcome to send an e-mail to WoWConcernsEU@blizzard.com. :)

Veyana If you have already sent us a webform then please be patient while the matter is investigated further.

Please also take a read of this support article which explains how to check to see if you have had any e-mails from us.

http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_GB&articleId=30471

Grugru If your friend has not already done so, please get them to send us a webform fully explaining the situation and the matter will be looked into. Please also get them to read through the support article I have linked above, to make sure that they get mails sent by us.

Healyi I am really pleased to see that you have got your account back. :)

Happy adventures!

Wildhorn The best thing to do would be to contact our Account and Payment team via phone and explain the situation to them.

Account and Payment Issues
http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/900641315#6

Good luck and I hope you get it sorted soon. :)

Panthéon This should now have been resolved and I hope that you got everything back that was taken.

Exia Please get your friend to check their registered e-mail address (possibly in the junk folder) for any mail from us. The link above to the support article explaining how to get mails from us should help. :)

If they definitely have not received anything via mail, then please get them to contact our Account and Payment team via phone.

Kanly Your account should also have been sorted now and I hope that everything was recovered successfully. :)

While I can appreciate your concern on how this has happened in the first place, may I suggest that you take a look through our links in this sticky for ideas on how to help prevent it from happening again.

To change your character, you can do that with the character change option at the top right of the forum page.

Jahmon I am pleased to see that you managed to get your items back and sympathise with your authenticator issue. I can understand that it is frustrating trying to get one of these, and I wish you all the best in trying to get one.

While I am afraid I cannot comment on the status of the new models of phones, should there be an option to make it compatible, then our information should update to reflect this.

Krimpus Glad to hear it! Good luck with getting your items back. :)

First Mail I got from Blizzard was about changing my password..
What I didnt asked at all, havent made a reqeust for that.

After that mail I got a mail about Reseting my account?
Also .. havent made a reqeust for that too..

Today, I got a mail from blizz that I changed my email?
I havent changed it, It constandly happends when I'm even asleep o.O..

Could I get some more info? I could also send some GM those mails.
But those mails got to stay private it has some privé stuff in it.


The email comes from:
noreplay@blizzard.com
Battle.net

So it doesnt seem fake..

I;ve readed all about the fake emails and email headers.
Still seems reall but to be sure I did sended the e-mail header to Hacks@blizzard.com

Just to be sure, since the mail is the original mail from blizzard

Anything more I could do?

Grugru I am afraid it would appear that we have not received any webform from the account of the character you linked. Could you ask your friend to send us a new one using this e-mail address and the matter will be investigated.

If they are unable to use this e-mail address, please get them to either send an e-mail change webform or call our Account and Payment team.

Moeke I have checked your registered e-mail address and it would appear that we have not sent you these mails. As you have read the information about fake e-mails, be aware that the address may be spoofed and you have indeed received bogus mails.

If you are worried about the security of your e-mail address, I would recommend that you change it to something else and you should also take a look at these support articles.

Items & Gold Missing



If you contacted us through the web form or over the phone to recover ownership of your account, it’s highly likely that an investigation is already pending and no further action on your part will be necessary. If you have any questions though, please don’t hesitate to contact us.



Once you are able to log into the game and access your characters, you will likely find that some or all of your items have been sold or destroyed, and that your gold has been taken. Please don’t worry! This is quite a common outcome of compromised accounts, and we are able to recover lost property in the vast majority of cases.



Simply open a ticket using the red ? icon along the action menu at the bottom of the screen, briefly describing the circumstances in the text box provided. From here our in-game support team will investigate the matter for you and attempt to reimburse all that was taken, including gold, items, guild bank contents and even deleted characters.



Once submitted, your help request will be placed in our queue and we’ll respond as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that we reply to help requests in the order that we receive them, and so there may be a perfectly normal period of several days before you hear back.



While waiting, please take a look at our Further Reading ([url]http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/900641512#6[/url]) section below.

Thanks
