    [Sub-Section] Scam General

    Alright, well this request is being brought up because I have been seeing lots of general scamming things that are not guides to scamming.

    A thread such as this one:
    http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-scams/128275-attempt-gold-stealing-farmers.html

    We should have a Scam General sub-section where we could just discuss scamming and stuff... such as the thread I linked as an example.

    I'd like to know what everyone else thinks!

    Thanks.

    More Generals that I spotted in less than 5 minutes:

    wow, after reading that thread, in all it's retardedness, I don't think that belongs anywhere. I think the person did it as a joke, more than a scam. Especially when they try to make a gold selling site pay 5mil in wow gold? You'd be kidding me if you said they had more than 100k in assets at all.

    Wasn't even that funny just cause it was so dumb =/ Delete > new section IMO

    Eh, I still believe the sub-section will be very helpful to clean everything up and make sure everything is at it's place.

    I agree to this a general scamming section would clean up the scamming section and will allow people to post more ways to scam other things besides wow, because lets face it how many scams for wow actually work or are needed?

    Thanks for appoving . Yeah... the section has definitely been overloaded so I think a General Scam board will clean things up as well as produce new fantastic scams unlike some of the quickly thought out posted ones.

    mm i have to agree. tho the discussion area be lower than anything in that genre.. we can report as fast as we can and come out sweating, and the next day there is twice as many stupid posts that are either reposts or stupid pranks/THIS IS HOW I DID IT. threads.

    sure it kinda nice to see how they did it themselves but truthfully the scam area should be locked down on new scams or something everything there works nicely and flawlessly why do we need another topic on how to scam gold sellers and then recall the money? i would love to help weed out the guides that truelly stand out and are uptodate, there is a million of them in there and people only look at the first 2 maybe 3 pages.. 4 if they are a bit more mature.

    threads like i made 25k in 10 minutes may be true but are only on rare occasion and can be shot down easily by them actually checking their paypal accounts for the money.

    the scam guide book was a good idea but with each leecher reposting with this:
    " i just thought this up i havent looked if its been posted yet, so here goes dont flame me!.. give me +rep +rep. " it get retarted.. sorry for the long wall of text..

    but im sure you guys(mods and higher) have either thought of something like this or are in the process of something similar and dont really need our opinions.

    but point of fact is that there are enough scams to cover anything viable in the game. dnd to the idiots. cod for the hurried. social engineering to the sellers. tricking to the hurried chinese. datamining the defenseless unknown. and out right hacking. everything has been covered once and they keep popping in with discussions and reposts.

    i reported for a bit.. then i got wacked for trolling noobs. i stopped and a few others i have seen are reporting aswell, but truthfully a topic being made should have to be either checked for consistancy ( for the betterment of the scammers.. why should i follow a guide when they left out that you need some scammed accounts to wash the gold thru. now i am rich with 4 k gold and banned for stealing) or outright locked down except to look at and comment.



    as well as the ascent/mangos area.. there are some 5 differing guides about how to create your own server.. they have uncessary actions, they are not efficient, or to well planned out (excluding a few). just like the wotlk is being restricted, people are not 1) looking. or even attempting.
    2) giving a crap and just trying to rep farm
    3) flaming others.
    ---------------------
    have one guide for setup of each component and sticky it. no need to have 5 different ways to do the same exact procedure.

    in all my guildes i try to be as efficient and simple as possible so even a noob can follow through with it.
    example: my walmart scam/ ascent w/ hamachi guide. i doubt there is a more efficient one out there, only thing to replace it would be premade live repacks which cant happen.

    well im done with my opinion, im curious as to the answer or flame i will receive.
    i am only 17 i have touched my hands in scamming successfully /emu servers for a good year/ advanced programming languages and even managed business'.

    like a fewa around here the leechers are c&p'ing. taking credit from the ones who had the original idea. i feel raped in a sense that my guild that was deemed bulletproof and 100% working without failure is consistantly on page 5 and beyond. whilst some leecher who reworded my work gets x10 credit and cant even answer their questions.

    an opinion is only a opinion and as always.. i respect what ever action comeabout or doesnt. tho i do like to know the decision to possibly sway judgement or agree to.

    Thanks for your big wall of text Remus!

    Maybe we should have people that are 'professional scammers' approving threads that go into the Scam Guides section... this should cut down those bad reposts, none working scams, as well as small edits. I would be willing to do this job.

    Well, let's hear everyone else's thoughts on this discussion!

    I think a professional scamming rank has already been suggested by either Verye or Neth'zul before, and turned down.

    Edit, found one: But from reading the replies, it sounds like this has been suggested many times.. http://www.mmowned.com/forums/sugges...ert-group.html

    well comsa can come in and do it. they are the self proclaimed elite scammers.or have a trusted group do it. (trusted lols- IRONY)

    sure i think myself a pretty good scammer. i dont win everytime but i get close all the time. ive made my buck. the only thing stopping me from joining comsa is the contrib rank req. i dont profess to be the best but i have alot of "experience" so to speak, and capable of a wide range. idk how to correctly and fairly remedy the subject of picked "scanners" who know about scaming and bulletproofing...

    would i personally want partake? yeah i would, i think i have ample know-how to judge and use scams. but
    verye & hefty & sineater are in my top ranks of active knowledgable scammers who actually try to better themselves or others.)

    sure its not just the leechers reposting there are donators and every once in a while contribs who repost in there. a rep threshhold is not a solution.

    i have not thought of a all encompassng solution to suggest yet, but heck you should know i am trying.

    Eh, I'm not talking about a rank that has there own boards and stuff. I'm talking about a rank kind of like a moderator where they have the access to approve and disapprove threads that go into the scamming section. This would make it clean... but anyways thats not my main suggestion. The main one is creating a scam general section where we could talk about scamming as well as improve scams and such so let's hop back on subject!

    What's with all the people thinking they need special attention for their sections these days?
    I think it's fine as it is and I'm sure the rest of the staff agrees with me.

    It's not that it's special attention... it's just that the section is already overloaded and overloading that much more which gives less room for those actual good guides. Scams are different then other things such as guides... for scams you actually need to think of creative ideas to trick the user as well as to discuss things... thats why I believe we need a General Section.
