Purchasing WoW accounts and moving chars to own main account

[Drulus]

Hello!

I'm hoping that someone with more experience could help me fill in some blanks.

So I'm currently maining a certain class in WoW, and I've started thinking of purchasing an account that has some nice unattainable sets, items etc. for my main class.
My question is basically; Is there any way to make it so that the account I'm purchasing gets incorporated into my main battle.net account?

The way I've understood it is that upon purchase I'm supposed to create a new account in the name of the current owner of the account, and the seller will then transfer the character to this new account.
But from there, what more can I do? Since the names doesn't match, shouldn't it prove difficult/impossible to get this new account into my current main account? :confused:

Trying to straighten out these questionmarks before any purchase, so I don't run into issues afterwards, so if anyone could answer this/walk me through a process like this it would be greatly appreciated. I still want to use my current account as my main account, so if it isn't possible I guess I have to face that fact.

Thank you in advance

The short answer is that u wont be able to buy a random account and then xfer the char to your mainaccount. The last name on the account must match

That's what I thought I remembered, the last names. Thank you for confirmation!

Not strictly true, forgery will always work but it's obviously completely illegal.

And you need to have a pretty good forgery. I remember several years ago when IGE had some internal theft of like 25 accounts they bought from my company They had me calling Blizzard to try to get the accounts back, and made some fake IDs. But these were shitty IDs. They would show a picture on them, with a girls face on a guys name, or a picture with an Idaho state on a California ID. If you're going to go through the hassle of the forgery, do make sure to at least have an idea of what you are doing and look for imperfections before you send them on to Blizzard.

I've done it multiple times without forgery, you just need to get creative. Around 90% success rate too. I believe some people may still offer it as a service.

I remember someone trying to falsify my ID with the highest Photoshop and DPI settings possible. It was done very professionally, to my naked eye it looked very real, but Blizzard still somehow marked it as a fake. No idea how, although my ID has an enormous amount of security layers, even invisible ones which are hard, if not impossible to really re-create.

Although so many attempts have been made on my account by random people with fake ID's that blizzard now requires me to hold my id next to my fake with a visible date and time in the background, such as a digital TV with a big screen. I guess they've gotten sick of the amount of people trying to steal my account. :P

Might also be the reason no new ID's are being accepted unless I do it the same way as described above.
