[HALP!] So, I got my first real scammed account!

[trikinomitry101]

I Got my first real scammed account, I don't now this person, but I know a bit about him now.

*The account is battle.net
*The account has active paypal set up
*The account email address is not the same password

Here's the lame ass part.

*The account has parental controls.

I myspaced the kid(Battle.net displays full name on the shipping label area), and he is 15. Is there a way I could fax in a fake ID and tell them im 18+ want my email changed, pw changed, parental controls removed, etc etc? Anyone have experience with this?

The lame ass part isn't that it has parental controls. The battle.net and email address without same pass suck as well. The parental controls do suck, but to really get anything done with the account, you're going to need full info. If you have it, great. If not, you probably won't get far and should likely try a new account.

Thanks! I just got another one, so I will give it a go when the servers come back up. I cant even log into Bilzzs website atm! Thanks again!

Parental controls suck donkey balls - excuse my french. Thank God we only got 1 account so far with controls on them and those parents were real playtime nazis. The kid was only allowed to play on Saturdays. As for what to do with it - we waited till Saturday and then did a quick rip of the account moving all gold and items onto a different host account before he was able to change the information back. Any other manipulation IMHO is not worth the time invested especially when you have other accounts you could either rip or scam off of. But that's just my 2c.

Hello, I would like to ask something without making a new thread. I got my first real scammed account too. Do I have to use an anonymity program to login into the account (through wow)?

[jasejunk]

Nah, don't worry about it.
I never use any kind of anonymity in wow.

"only"?!

Is there anything I can do if they have authenticator code?

Personally, I would recommend using proxifier and proxy finder to get yourself a good list of proxys to use. Yes, there is very little risk of prosecution from Blizzard - they *may* ban your IP address and that would suck. However, the greater risk comes from them shutting down accounts you create. To give a more concrete example 2 weeks ago my partner and I were going to merge 6-7 WoW accounts into Battle.net accounts for our weekend entertainment using the same IP to create and merge the Battle.net accounts. Long story short - one of the accounts was reported by the entire guild the guy was in and all of our Battle.net accounts ended up being suspended as a result. Had we used a different IP to create all those accounts like smart kids that would've likely not happened. We would've probably still lost the account that got reported - but not the other 5-6 accounts and the gold that was on them.

Lesson learned: Proxy's may suck and be slow - but they can at times prevent a painful loss of several accounts.

Unless you can convince them to take it off, I doubt it.

The best way to get around the authenticator is to include a field in whatever tool you use to phish accounts which asks them to punch in an authenticator code. That allows you to get onto the account once to get all their shit mailed to another host account . Just make sure they aren't online before you do it (check the WoW forums for a character name list and do a quick /who search on all of them).
