New gold + acccount scam ! tested and working!

[footspeedy]

Me and my friend have tested this scam and it works quite often. The beauty of this scam is that you can choose how far you want to go. Meaning you can just scam some gold or go get someones account info.

Starting off. Go onto your scamming account and say something like this in /2 Looking to purchase a character transfer, name change or character re-customization in exchange for wow gold.

Once you have found someone interested, settle for an amount of gold. Chances are he will ask you how this will go down. Explain to him that you are willing to pay for the transfer first (name change or whatever it is) and then he can pay you the gold.

If he is still interested, ask to talk him on msn to make this transaction easier. If he agrees on the transaction, explain to him that you will need his account name and password to be able to access the account management page. If he is hesitant to give you his info, tell him he can change the password immediately after you have logged in the page.

Since you are on msn, you should have his email so send him a fake blizzard email. I use evilpage.com but it really doesn't matter as long as you use the common letter form. ( you can find a bunch of well written ones on mmowned )

Once it has been sent, let him know to check his email as the character is pending. At this point tell him to meet back on WoW so he can give you the gold.

Now this next part is up to you but its worth the try if hes an TOTAL idiot. Tell him that the character transfer (or whatever your pretending to offer him) is enabled to but you still need more info to continue which happens to be his last name and SQ. Might as well try this because you have nothing to lose.

Frequently asked questions by victims

Victim: Why dont you buy some gold online then?
Tell them that you dont trust the websites with your credit card number and its also breaking ToS.

Victim: Why do we need to talk on MSN?
Tell them that just incase you were to ever scam me, I have your msn.

Those were basically they only questions we got asked during this scam. Also leave any feed back on how to in prove this scam.

Thank you and good luck

How much gold can you reasonably get from this scam?

[footspeedy]

A good amount. When we were testing it we made around 5k, but didn't only tested it a few times.

Seems like it's based on luck,
Can't you get caught? I mean if you are using one of them Trial version accounts you can't yell or talk in World Chat. So the chances are you'll need your PTP account?
Can't the other person report you?

[footspeedy]

You don't use a trail account, you used a scammed account. Based on luck? well... most scams are based on luck. Most people haven't seen this so just like the TCG scam people will get onto it soon enough. Also basically you are targeting kids that don't have visas and cant pay for transfers so they will do anything they can to get one. And you get quite a few whispers. More then I thought when I first started doing it. The other person could report you.. im guessing but I haven't gotten ban yet.

great idea, I'll try this out tonight.


The only problem I see is that if they check the transaction pages to see if it's pending approval, you will get caught.

Still, I can see this working a lot!

Actually didn't think of that, oh well I guess I got lucky the times I did it, didn't happen to me Good luck

Seems ify but if it works it's good.

But I don't like that fact that you have to used a scammed account, and if they have your MSN they can still report your e-mail and with enough proof Blizzard may do a follow-up and check if the MSN matches any used addresses in their Database, and then you usualy get screwed.

But nice work.

[footspeedy]

Then make a different msn which i did, well I use a msn that isnt linked on any accounts. Plus I dont think Blizzard could prove enough to ban your main account if thats what you talking about.
