Ok so I got this guy's account that had a few 70's on it.
He apparently had another account on the server and started talking to me on it.
He said he reported my site to a gm and that warden basically has all my info.
Does he really have my ip? Can my ip be traced from my site?
If so, ill any legal action be taken?
Should I delete the site since phishing is illegal?
Or am I being paranoid?
I had a proxy on while on his account at all times, but not when logged into my site.

just contiue on with your scamming, and stop talking to the victim while YOUR on HIS account.
P.S. if the police show up at your house, i suggest you run for your life. |

But anyways, either nothing will happen, or, you get a request to remove your phishing site or else legal action will be taken, blah blah blah.
Just like with Emu servers, there's way to many Phishing sites out there for Blizzard to pay to much attention to one at a time.

Try doing a WHOIS on the domain. |

a. If you used a free web-host, like freewebs (for instance) site will be taken down, you won't be tracked, although freewebs may have logs of your IP.
b. If you registered a domain.... whois on the net, can find the address, name, and phone number you registered with, and most likely your web-host, and they'll probably do the same.
Legal action however is probably going too far.
Yes, Warden tracks everything, its like a spyware when your WoW is open.

Reputation: 115 Level up: 72%, 309 Points needed | | | | I am in the same situation. I sent an e-mail to the guy and he typed in his information. Than I got into his e-mail and started reading what he was talking about. He messaged
"Blizzard Hacking and Piracy Team" and was talking to them about my scammed e-mail. Then I read a message from them that told them how to get the IP address of the scammer. I just deleted the message so that he wouldn't read it, and I closed down my phish because I can just set up another one in a few minutes when I need to.
Soo.. You should be fine. The only thing they will do is contact the host and tell them to lock the phish site. | | |
