Biggest Gold Scam!

[Supta]

ok, this happend today. i'll tell u the story..
i was on my char today and i see in trade channel that their was a lvl 1 alt telling everyone he is selling raid instance spots and items.. his name was "Validusbank" Validus is one of the biggest guilds on our server..
Well u prolly know what im gonna tell u now... But first, i'll show u what they posted on the forums.

Hi guys Alex here,

I am sorry to say that the Validusbank that was spamming 100g per item in BWL and other instances was indeed a person faking it. It was not me nor do we have a character called Validusbank associated with the guild. You can guess who was behind it.. You only get 1.

But it did produce results I am sorry for.

I got 100's of in game mail as instructed and about 4000g mailed to me. I returned all of your money but didn't have time to formally apologize to you individually for what happen. This was not a Validus promotion.

I am sorry.

---------------

So yeah.. the scam is easy, make a lvl 1 alt and make sure u name it as one of the biggest guilds on ur server like "Validusbank" or somthing. then tell everyone in Trade channel that u are selling epics and BWL spots for 100g and to mail it to u.
You might get banned though.. >.< but u can always go on ur main char and sell something for 10000g or how much u got from the scam and let the lvl 1 alt buy it making u get the gold on ur main, dunno if that works or is detectable from blizz. but yeah
HAVE FUN!

I believe, simplified, is to impersonate a guild bank and pretend to sell raid spots and epic and tell them you'll mail it CoD...then initiate the giftwrap scam. I also believe scamming can't get you banned, or at least I've never been banned for it.

Not true, when you buy something, they will take that item back. I scammed over 1000 gold, and bought some boe epics, and they took em back >.<

I guess you can pray someone buys your epic for 500g, and thats scammed money, so you get your 500g, AND your epic back. I bought a Helm of Narv for 150g i think, and when i got banned, the guy got his 150g and his helm back. Lucky him.

heh, i know the perfect guild to try this on should be funny

[Lanzaris]

[amrican93]
