Easy scam site.

[ivanoff]

I did a search here to see if anyone ever mentioned craigslist.org. I didn't find any posts about it so here goes. Forgive me if there were some. Warning, long post ahead!

Anyways, I am surprised that nobody has mentioned craigslist.org to scam accounts. I always see markeedragon and other online mmo sites named. The problem is that with the sites dedicated to selling mmo games they usually all have a warning system in place for types of scams and of course rep/feedback.

The glory of craigslist is that most noobs will just post up their account and leave their AIM or MSN name and usaually their email as well. What I have found is that most people who sell on craigslist don't use any of the big mmo selling sites and are just looking for a quick sale. Most of the time they don't require verification of any type and usually trusted me pretty quickly over AIM after a few minutes of idle chit-chat. They are usually unaware of the big scams going on as well.

I have found dozens of accounts on there in the last year or so that were easy targets. Most of them will just want to talk over AIM, and are actually pretty easy to convince you are legit. The trick is to pick your targets based on their posts.

If they sound smart and like they know what they're doing in their post, skip them. IF they sound like a 15 year old kid who just needs $200, you can probably take their account. Also, go for the one's that say they accept paypal. Skip posts where they want to meet locally. The best one's are people who say they're are the original owner and haven't ever sold before, because they are completely unaware how scams work.

It's pretty easy really. I was able to get quite a few people to willingly give me account info without knowing who I was or anything. You just have to use good judgement on which targets you pick.

Credit to people who may have posted the tactics I used as examples in this post, my main point is to try craigslist for easy, quick targets.

My latest scam last night was a 70 war from a kid who was selling because he was getting ready to head to college in May. He was the oo and had never sold an account and I convinced him to give me the info up front. Easy pickings.

Good luck!

I think you replied the wrong post buddy. Craigslist is a free online site the allows you to sell pretty much anything, without having to register. Not sure what you're referring to though... Perhaps you misspelled it or something. Google it.

Yep, sorry I posted it as .com. However when I type craigslist.com in the address bar it automatically converts it to .org and I have honestly never noticed that until just now. Thanks for that heads up.

Searched for:

"WoW"
"World of Warcraft"
"70"
"warrior" "mage" "warlock"

Didn't find anything WoW related

[andr3w_91]

yes, how do you search the site?

thx in advance

[csfkrypter]

What I usually do is type "warcraft yahoo" or "warcraft gmail" and it gives me all the posts with either a yahoo or gmail email listed in their post

To find WoW accounts on Craigslist simply pic a large US city on the main page. Most big cities will have plenty of accounts listed. From there just type "warcraft" or "wow" and it will bring up dozens of accounts. The best cities I've found with the most accounts are San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, New York, Los Angeles, ... well you get the idea. Start in big cities, don't search some small local listing.

Another route is to just google "craigslist wow account" and go from there.
