When u read down, DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK! This is a professional phishing email which i've fallen for.
Hello there --
This message is being sent to confirm that all credit card information has been removed from the World of Warcraft account , effectively cancelling its recurring subscription as of April 7, 2010 11:57 AM UTC. The account will not bill or renew any further unless new payment information (credit card or game card) is manually entered in.
The account will remain playable for the remaining time it has already paid for. This account's current prepaid time will expire on May 7, 2010 11:57 AM UTC.
Please Note: Cancelling one World of Warcraft subscription that has been merged to a Battle.net Account will not cancel all World of Warcraft Accounts which have been similarly merged. If you wish to cancel more than one subscription, you must cancel each individually.
To check your account status at any time, you can log into your Account Management page at this link, using your account name and password:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account
At this time, Blizzard has no plans to delete or "expire" characters, even if an account is deactivated or cancelled. This means that all of your characters and their progress will be retained on our servers. Should you decide to return to World of Warcraft and reactivate your account, you will be able to pick up your characters again wherever you left off.
In the event you have any other billing questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Billing & Account Services team for support. You can reply to this email directly, or call 1-800-59-BLIZZARD (800-592-5499) for live phone support between 8am and 8pm Pacific Time. Users in Australia should please call 800-041-378, if the standard 800 line does not work for them.
Regards,
Billing & Account Services

This is one of those really cleverly made phishing emails that told me my account is getting ed. It tells me to click on the link which I did, thinking it was really from Blizzard. Then foolishly entered my account name and password.
Well me I'm wrong.
As you can see REAL emails don't have links that lets you enter your bloody account name and password.
After a few days, i tried to access my account and it told me to enter a authenticator number. BUT I NEVER BROUGHT A ING AUTHENTICATOR!
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO U! If u see a email that lets u enter your account info leave it be and forwards it to Blizzard and let them sort it out.
EDIT: i still think the link is bad, seriously. Out of all the email i gotten ONLY this one gotten me ot enter my details.

First,
please watch your language. Cuss words are inappropriate no matter how agravated you are. It will only provide more problems.
Second, this thread should be under the
WoW Help
forum.
That seems to be a legit email. You may have canceled your reoccurring payments, or something happened and they canceled it for you. Maybe the person who compromised your account removed the card, and that is why you are receiving this email.
The link is also valid. when in question, manually type the address
www.worldofwarcraft.com
into your browser when needing access to your account.
As for your authenticator issue:
Contact Account & Billing. I sugest actually
investing in an authenticator
yourself, to prevent this in the future. Its cheap, $6.50 i believe. You also get a free pet with it. As for your computer security, download
Malwarebytes
and run a scan. Also, be sure you have a Firewall and adequate virus-scanner.

Seeing your past few threads, perhaps it bears repeating that bypassing the censor system is not allowed. Please refresh yourself with the forum rules
here
. You don't have to swear several times to get your point across.

Even if the link TEXT is legitimate, the LINK itself might not be.
Hard to know without seeing the HTML code for the email.
Here's a little (harmless) example to demo it:
wowhead.com
(Seems like this site will override the link if I put the www in)
Easily seen. Place your cursor over the link, and the real location will be displayed either in a Tooltip or at the bottom in the status bar. And that is why i said, when in question, manually type it in.
