@Jack268: First rule of personal indentity security, send photo ID scans, address, every bit of your personal info and hell, throw in a DNA sample while you're at it to anyone who requests it. Sounds like a winning plan to me!
But this isn't "Anyone who requests it". It's Blizzard. For all we know, OP may be trying to compromise another persons account and is looking for a way to get around having to identify himself. For the record, I've sent Blizzard images of my passport twice after having my account compromised and I'm still fine. And it's most certainly not insane to request someone to identify themselves to reclaim an account that could be worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars. In fact, if I still played WoW I'd gladly accept this with the security of knowing that I can always get my account back by identifying myself.
But it’s possible that an unscrupulous employee could sell my personal info to make a quick buck.
Who are you, John Travolta?
It's possible you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, live life on the edge.
and Blizzard aren't the ones with security issues, if people get hacked 99% of the time it's their own fault. I don't think Blizzard have been compromised at all in recent years. Use an authenticator job done, I didn't use one until recently when some motherfucker managed to reset my password, they didn't get into the account, though. But people that randomly try and get into accounts in multiple ways are definitely out there.
I've sent my ID to them numerous times for a variety of reasons over the years, the most recent was because my phone died which had an authenticator on it, the only way I could get it removed was by giving them concrete evidence that I was the account owner. It makes sense to me.
Yes I am John Travolta and they are not getting my ID!

I am not saying that Blizzard is evil and sells info to the Chinese.
