seem like a pretty good scam, but i don't like to take advantage of the younger people
Now we know there is one of these really young players in most guilds, and the easiest way to check is to jump on vent.
Now these players are really attached to their "older friends", so for the guys having a deep voice is a definite +here
Now the way we go about this scam is by leveraging ourselves into the poor little thing's account using a little bit of older pressure. The first thing to do is to make up some bullshit story, eg "I've figured out this way of farming 100 primals in hour" and to talk a little about it in guild chat, preferably when a few people are on, when asked about it make sure you don't go into too much detail, as you are going to need to persuade the noob that he needs you to do it. Make sure you mention that it needs to be done fast as it is going to get fixed soon and that it is bannable, but the odds of a ban are say 1 in 1,000,000,000, or there is only a 0.5% chance.
Now later on when things are a bit quieter (the best time would be when you are confident your target will have to go soon) give them an invite to your party and when they accept (they will) mention that you'd like to have someone to try your new farming trick with, repeating that it's slightly bannable but make light of it, "lol farting in this game is ****ing bannable tho"
When/If they agree wait a couple of minutes and then make an excuse for having to leave for a short while (MAKE SURE WHEN YOU COME BACK YOUR NOOB WILL HAVE LOGGED) mention that you'd be willing to jump on their account and grab some primals/whatever for them while you're there, "oh I can hop on your toon later on and grab some primals for ya if you like" more often than not people will jump at the chance and hey you're a guildy, what could go wrong?
After getting their info log off for however long you think it will take for them to go, while you're waiting you might as well head to account management and check that the info is correct. Whenever you feel ready get on their account and go to town. DE their gear, empty their bags, hell even do their dailies and take the money. If they are an officer I only recommend taking anything from the guild bank if you don't plan on sticking 'round, as the transactions are recorded. Launder the profit, this is your reward.
Now make sure you can get your victims account banned. This is really important, as if the account isn't banned he will log on and see that all his stuff is gone. Make sure you do something that people aren't too lazy to report you for, eg dropping ****** bombs in trade chat, if you don't think you've been reported get on your account and report yourself. If you only receive a temporary ban this is fine, when he gets back on his account he will just assume he lost everything in the ban. We don't really care at this point as we've probably just received our lovely clean gold
Now at some point your target will get back in touch with the guild, when this happens make sure you can get to him in private, and if you could only manage a temporary ban, tell him you both received bans, that you lost everything, and that you hate bucking flizzard.
Thanks for your time and sorry for the long read.
Btw the two accounts worth I've managed to nail using this both have had Harry Potter related names...>.>...<.< So look for the Dumbledores and such..
(if you are a girl, well we don't really need any complicated scams most guys are willing to hand over their account info anyway, but you can just skip straight to the let's go farm something bit)
Apologies for the long read if you find it useful I'll try make it more comprehensible :yuck:...wrote it up in drama so wasn't paying 100% attention =)

Haha good guide
good scam some advise for improvement
1. tell the person that talking about it on wow increases the chance of ban so to talk on AIM or vent. (no evidence of his account getting stolen he cant get it back)
2. instead of making like what 300g from selling his gear why not keep his character? get his last name and transfer his character off the account over night
check my sig on how to transfer and stuff, but seriously good stuff havent seen a good scam here in a while hopefully you keep going and not fall to phishing scams.
hah you can keep your victim's account(s) if you like. I'm not sure if i put it in there but you only need to get the account banned etc if you like your reputation, as it's pretty obvious who woulda taken the account. Personally after I got the accounts they went straight up on MD =p
Haha just saw that tyvm, was not expecting to meet a gentleman LOL
Never! =pand not fall to phishing scams
Bah sorry for making your life hell Kuiren

Or... Just use Cheat Engine and speed hack and run around in SW. Gives u a ban in like 1 min, (Blizzard got speedhack sensors and stuffs as u alredy know) Link for download: Cheat Engine I preffer using 5.3, because 5.4 sometimes crash and cant be used for all programs. Just press the "enable speedhack" and choose like 100 speed. Don't mind the sleeping time button, just dont change it. Note: Vista users may get the ground vanish and stuffs like that on 100 speed, u will not fall through it, only u see it flagger. Just choose some minor speed. U will still get bannedNice scam btw. +Rep :wave:

I was quite adamant about clicking on this thread because the title sounding like something a pedophile would write.. but its a pretty good scam.
Don't think that any one who knows English would fall for this.
And in most cases,where people don't write it well, scam goes smooth.
dont get to attached to the guildies
