Otherwise...

Email blizzard and say someone took your beta testing(lol). To be a beta tester id think that you gonna have some special # or code to beable to get the download to test it. Report that someone hacked your mail and now you can't test it. They can probably check on who they sent the emails to that would match up with that # or code. Being that the email and # doesn't match they will not allow tester to test anymore.

Hope that all makes sence
You can try this, but it didn't work for me. I called Blizzard, talked to the appropriate people, and gave them the subscription codes, but they weren't able to do anything about it. Hopefully it will work for you though.

Account A is the one Paypal has access to. Every week, on Friday, I will place all funds into Account B to prevent them from stealing money from me.
I see. But it only works if account A has no funds in it. Most people have funds in their banks, of which accounts are given to Paypal. I rarely use Paypal because I use credit cards instead. If Paypal withdrew funds from my checking without my permission, I'm sure my bank could do a thing or two about it. It is a small bank and their priority is customer service; can't say the same about big banks, such as Bank of America.

From their help page about having a negative balance:

"If your account balance is still negative after seven days, we have no choice but to pursue all available collection options."

I didn't want to mess with that, so I transfered funds to bring the account to 0

My point is to allocate an account specifically for Paypal for this exact reason. Since they're going to come after the money anyway I'd just avoid them altogether.
