Now, I scammed 41k and some scrolls of berserking. 
I traded the 41k gold for a 63-80 / Max prof PL, since I already have enough IRL gold.
I just think this was weird since I used the AH to send the gold.
Is laundering gold dead? Or is Blizz getting smarter?

Check if you can send an mail back if you cant do that this is indeed a fake mail with the email of blizzard. |

Good thing it wasn't my main :P |

I recently got one saying I was getting a ban for trying to selling my account.
Funny thing was, my accounts been inactive for months, and I don't sell my accounts.
Pretty much, don't click the link on the e-mail, or you'll most likely get keylogged ;-)
Delete the e-mail, and check your computer for any trojans or virus'.
I also forgot to mention..
There are many ways for people to find out your acct info such as guild sites, forums, etc. So even though your account name is there, theres still a possibility of it being fake.

I had 4.4k on my main from TCG scam for about 72 hours and they still recalled the gold, so you just got lucky. Unfortunately for me, I didn't.
