    So nice one, i cant retreve mine password, becouse mine email is gone aswell, i filled in online form, made i pic of mine license, and sended it out. they said it was not enought...

    so i gave all mine account details, visa last 4 digits, and pic of mine license and passport last night, still havent heard a thing of them...

    does anyone knoe, if they work sundays and looking in to it? as i got reply prety fast last night, even knowing it was around 22:00...

    Mein Fuhrer will surely be displeased.

    Sometimes customer service can be a bit slow but they will get back to you.

    Give them a ring on Monday (assuming they're working). If you've skype set-up you can call them for free as waiting times can be up to 15mins, especially on a Monday.

    The thread here lists all the numbers.

    If you don't get through the first time, keep trying and you'll get through eventually.

    Sure the orginal email wasnt a fake ?

    Sounds like you were scammed to me.

    well lads, surprisingly i got all back today, all sorted. customer support is just :" 2 thumbs up" !

    Got autohandicater now set with mine iphone, so no more surprises.

    Now like i said i havent played for ages, dont know how they got me... thought somehow i have a feeling they did it when all boards.ie was hacked! as idid used same login from email and boards.ie with same passwords... and iwas stupid enought not to change passwords, so from email they got mine wow account i guess... :(

    anyway got allmoust everything redirected to new email got security and recovery sorted for it aswell. only thing thats left is steam!

    I get daily dodgy emails from someone claiming to be wow telling me they are gm's and my account is under investigation for attempting to be sold, that it has been hacked, bla bla bla. If you are really unsure about the email, just hang the mouse cursor over the link and check the address that appears.
    Its usually really obvious that its fake.

    Glad it worked out in the end for you. I know English isn't your native language but it's worth looking up the difference between a possessive adjective (my) and a possessive pronoun (mine).
    so i gave all my account details, visa last 4 digits, and pic of my license and passport last night

    In English you might say "That account is mine, not yours".
