And you've been playing for over a year so let's see, 5110 accounts right? :] I know, I'm bored..

I don't want to sound conceited or anything, but Guzey, that e-mail has tons of spelling problems and grammar errors. I'd suggest against using anything like that.

I used to be a bit of a guru of e-mail phishing. I would get about 1 account a day on average, and eventually had myself a nice collection. A lot of them were recalled by the owner, but a lot of them were people who quit. I've found that when people respond with their information, they just say "I'm gonna get banned so I'm just going to quit, don't bother investigating". So, even if I only have their password, I still get to use the account. Of course, the major point of the scam was the hope that their WoW account password and e-mail password were the same. Same if the WoW S Q/A and e-mail S Q/A were the same. In those circumstances, it's pretty much a done deal.

Unfortunately...my conscience got the better of me and I gave all of them back.

After being accountless for about a year, I considered trying to scam again, but was told by a very reasonable and smart friend that your ISP can stop giving you service. I was wondering how, then realized my custom domain which sounded Blizzard-ish was from a site that asked for my cell phone number. If I kept doing it and a bunch of people reported it to the e-mail domain site, they could trace it to me and contact my ISP. I doubt the authorities would get involved, but ISPs do refuse service in cases like these. I've seen it happen to people just for pirating a few things.

Even if you do it from a domain that you don't give personal information too, they can simply check your IP. Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL...if they get enough reports of spam from an address they'll investigate. At the very least they'll shut the e-mail address down.

Anyway, if you want a tip: go to MarkeeDragon, do a search in the forums you want, and for the keyword put the @ sign. This will show every post that contains @, which is 99% of the time an e-mail address. Just put them into a notepad file and send those e-mails.

This scam takes the least amount of work and no verbal contact, and I'd say yields the best results, but is the most risky by far.
