Suck it Blizzard!!!!!

I am alomst, no I am totally embarrassed to admit this.  I have been permanently banned from WoW.  WTF.  I was able find out why, and that is what is embarrassing.  I was attempting to have gold from a character on a PvE server transferred to a character on a PvP server.  I found a company that does this.  I signed up, got approved and was given the name of a character to give my gold to.  Honestly I thought I was going to be scammed.  I really did not expect to get the gold on the other server in return.  Actually, I have no idea if I did, because I was banned prior to being able to log on to check.  When I went to check my email several hours after the transaction is when I got the email from Blizzard.  Banned permanently.  Why no warning?  Just the death penalty on the first offense.  I am really suprised by this.  Not only that, but I did not realize this was a bannable action.  And really, i don't even know if this is what it was, because Blizzard has not as of yet given me a detailed explanation of the act that got me banned.  I am assuming this is what did it, as the email stated that it was a violation of policy to trade characters, items, or currecncy from one server to another.  I just can not believe that a permanent ban was the only recourse available to "teach me a lesson" or to resolve the issue.  Anyway, I guess I cheated, so I guess I deserve the ban.  It just sucks.
