So first of all this is merely an idea for a one.time scam and not tested yet. Therefore I decided to post here first in order to gather some comments. I tried looking for a similar post but haven't found any but if it is a repost simply ignore it and delete this post.
I've been reading this post http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-sc...-25k-gold.html by a fellow member and it got me thinking.
What you need:
1 legit Paypal account
1 fake Canadian Paypal account (as you dont need cc info or anything else)
Tor or any other program to hide/change your ip
SMAC for extra security to change your MAC adress
Now the basic idea in the abovementioned post was to scam scammers by spending the scammers money before they could file in a dispute. For further info please visit the thread it's really worth it.
The problem with the method in the post was the timeframe in which you had to spend the money. It roughly was around 10-20 mins depending on your social skills and the intelligence of the scammer.
Now my idea was that instead of scamming a scammer you could actually scam yourself so to say.
Here is what I was thinking :
1) You send some cash from your original paypal account to your fake canadian paypal account. Don't use any huge amounts as this lowers the risk of Paypal undertaking any action against you.
2) Use your Canadian Paypal account to buy whatever you wish to buy (Gold , Gamecards , you name it)
3) Wait 1 day or 2 or just until you received the item you purchased and then file in a dispute with you main Paypal account. If I'm not mistaken you should get back the money you transfered to your fake Paypal account your fake Paypal account will have a negative balance and you'll still have whatever you have bought.
Now in order to minimize any risks you should keep in mind that whenever you do anything with your fake Paypal account (creation, logon , trade) you should use the same proxy (and not your real ip adress) as otherwise your Canadian account will get limited.
Don't forget to use your regular IP when you use your main Paypal account.
As for the sites that require phone confirmation i would suggest you buy a prepaid card and just use that.
Please leave your comments and ideas on how to improve it or why it is an epic fail altogether :wave:
