Subject: Chargeback Notification For: CLARENCE034
Greetings,
Access to the World of Warcraft account CLARENCE034, has been temporarily disabled due to a dispute filed against the account's past payments. This dispute was filed by the bank, credit card provider, or financial institution associated with the payment on the account. As a result of this dispute, funds paid on the account were withdrawn from Blizzard Entertainment. This is known as a "chargeback".
If this chargeback is the direct result of an account compromise, please contact our Account Services department for further investigation at the number provided below
The total withdrawn by this chargeback was: $14.99.
The account is now considered by Blizzard to have a negative balance, and will be unavailable for play until any and ALL outstanding balances have been repaid to Blizzard. If more than one chargeback email was sent for a single account, all chargebacks will
need to be repaid before the associated account can be unlocked unless the chargeback was for an electronic expansion purchase which was removed from the account.
Repayment can be made by contacting our Account Services department at 1-800-592-5499.
Hours: 8:00 AM � 8:00 PM Pacific Time 7 days a week
We have also provided the following numbers for our international customers:

- Chile: 1230-020-5554

If you wish to repay the chargeback(s) via a US money order, please visit http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/chargeback.
Please feel free to contact Account Services at [email protected] if you need additional information.
Until the amount which was withdrawn from the chargeback is repaid, the World of Warcraft account will remain indefinitely unplayable. Please do not reply to this email, as you will receive no further response.
Thank you for your time.

http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowbilling/ This was my response, sent to their billing department since apparently it's too fucking much to ask that Blizzard send you an e-mail that you can respond to just by hitting the "reply" button in your e-mail:

To Whom It May Concern,
I have not played this account since earlier this year. Obviously, it is compromised.
I have no intention of ever playing again because, to be quite frank, World of Warcraft has gone to complete shit. Out of the dozens of people with whom I used to play, only one remains paying $15 a month for your lousy vomit-fest. Having paid $50 for 5 levels of lackluster content doesn't sit well with me. I am not interested in running dungeons I ran four or five years ago because some dill-holes put some spit-polish on it, retuned the content, and called it done. The changes to the way dungeons were implemented this expansion walked away from what was good about WotLK: that a person could do one without spending their entire fucking night on it. All that wasn't quite enough to drive me away, so you geniuses tossed in some absolutely retarded changes to druids and moderation douche-baggery on the forums to seal the deal. Good job, asshats, way to retain those loyal customers.
In short, I'm done with you and your rancid fucking game. Not only do I not like your game and am never again going to play it, but I honestly find the members of your staff whose postings I have perused to be vile, loathsome fucktards. I am uncharitably going to assume that birds of a feather fuck up together and that those individuals are indicative of the sort of smarmy taint-lickers employed in your organization, and on the basis of what sort of people you are, am not interested in affiliating with you in any way, shape, or form.
As I am quite done with you and your company, you will understand that I am tired of receiving e-mails about your security problems and payment issues. I say "your" and not "mine" because I'm not paying you anything, and since I'm no longer playing your shitastical game I have nothing to secure. It's not even wasting space on my hard drive anymore, so the best option for everyone involved would be for you to delete my account and never contact me again for any reason, because I could honestly give less than a fuck about anything you monkey-ass motherfuckers would care to communicate to me.
I should probably add, just to rub it in your collective face out of spite, and in light of your shrinking subscription base, that RIFT kicks so much ass that even Chuck Norris is jealous.
Again, kindly delete my account and never contact me again for any reason ever...and while you're at it, eat a super-giant Costco size bag of dicks and go fuck yourselves with a wood rasp.
Your Pal,
Clarence
I wonder if they can take a hint, or if they'll hit me back with some dumbass "we don't delete accounts because..." bullshit.
Your Pal,
Jubber
I thought we were pals?
