So my WoW account has been hacked

[Standby]

So despite the fact that i thought i'd deactivated it (i haven't paid for or played it since December 2006), i just happen to chance along an email from Blizzard the other day informing me there has been some 'suspicious log-ins' from several different IP addresses, and as a precaution my account has been locked.
It's here were i'm unsure whether or not i should care, as i havent played it in so long and i have no desire to pick it back up. However i'm unable to get my account back to properly delete it myself as i don't have a battlenet account as far as i'm aware (was this brought in at some point after Dec 06?), and Blizzard won't let me start to proceedings to get it back without things like my email address which for some reason is not accepted.
I've already taken the precaution to change my email password, and i actually changed debit cards/details last year so the payment details on my profile should not longer be valid anyway.
I'm just curious if i should in fact go through the effort and trouble of making sure my account is properly deleted or whether i should be ok to just leave it frozen?

I'd say just leave it frozen out of laziness...

If you are that desperate there are measures you can take in which you fax them your drivers license or passport to prove your identity. I just hate the idea of having to go through so much shit to do it though.

I got a few e-mails saying the same thing and I haven't played it for about a year. I just changed the password, but I keep getting e-mails saying someone is trying to access my account from different ip addresses. I also get some saying that someone has changed my information on my account but as far as I can tell they haven't.

80% of "Your account has been frozen/suspended/will be banned unless you visit here:" are phishing scams. Make sure it's legit before you take any action.

I say leave it frozen. It should be okay. Maybe he'll give up and go do something else and you can play again

I had a few e-mails from 'Blizzard' aswell, telling me that my WOW account password has been changed due to suspicious activity. Even though I have not got a WOW account, never have, probably never will. I don't even think i've ever been on Blizzards website. I realized it was a phishing scam. Luckily I never opened the e-mails.

If you are sure you have properly deleted your WOW accounts then it may be a scam and I would advise you to not open any more of those e-mails as the person or people who are sending you these can hack into your computer and steal your personal information.

I got one a few days ago, and I've never played WoW, owned the game or anything like it.

Yeah, it's probably a scam

I doubt it's real.
Just leave it and see how it plays out, or E-mail Blizzard about it.
