The TCG scam!

**fatmanpaddy** · 04-23-2008

Ok this has got to be the easiest way of making money in WoW EVER.

This is a scam to 'Sell' WoW Trading card game codes.

You do not need to know anything about the card game to do this.

Make a Blood elf character on your server, and name it after a high Rep Ebay seller, mines usually Foilcollectr.

Make another blood elf on your server on ANOTHER ACCOUNT and name it something role-playing so it fits in.

Run both of the characters to Silvermoon City.Then park the Toon thats selling the card out the front of the entrance to the inn(the one on the left hand side just as you enter silvermoon) with its back against the wall next to the entrance.

Put your other toon BEHIND that wall and make a macro that targets and trades with the Item seller.

Advertise trade chat with /2 WTS [Spectral tiger] Trading card game code. Serious offers only please, only 1 left.Leave trade chat immediatly after, because there will probably be alot of hating, and if you reply to that, you will get almost no business.

When you get whispers(on my server i get 5-10 every time) reply to them as professionally as possible, making sure that whenever they show that they are afraid you're phony, that you have as much to lose as they do.

Eventually you will get a person coming to buy the code off you, ask to see the money first and give them the following choices of payment.

#1: gold first, code after
#2: Half gold fist, then half code, then half gold after (idk why but it works)
#3 full code first, then all gold.

Once you get the gold, give them a 16 number code like this IU6R-7IKD-3EWC-PI5F.

while they convey their absolute thanks, trade the gold to your other account.

run the account to the AH, and buy as many mats as possible. DO NOT SEND THE GOLD TO ANYONE BLIZZARD WILL TRACK IT.

send all the mats to your bank alt/main.

heres the important part, delete BOTH characters and remake them about 4 times, with different race/class combos each time.

Sell the mats you got, and bam, you scammed ALOT of gold.

My mate and i also used scammed gold to control primal mana's and greater planar essences, we made the prices rise 300% and made an absolute fortune off it.

Have fun, and make sure to never send the gold through the mail!

I was thinking how to improve TCG scam

and maybe we could use some psychology methods

1.Low Stock Method

When u are spamming that u sell cards write near price how many left

And after few minutes of respamming it lower it.This will make ppl think that it really works and its getting low on stocks

so why not try it.
2. Verified Seller

This will need a little bit of effort u need a friend with TCG loot

And When in City ask him to stand near you so ppl will think that u are really selling them

This is sensless cuz i need to buy this card but still maybe it can help
3.Contrast Method
When u are spamming prices give it 200/300g more then u really want it

And when some1 will respond to u just lower prices when they will want to

It will make a nice contrast and its easier to seduce "customer"
4.Similiar to 3rd one
Create 2nd char who will spamm same offert with much higher prices. This will attrack for sure more ppl to u.

I hope i haven`t reposted it. And it will help u a little bit and give something fresh to this method cuz its getting a bit old dated

I will think more tomorrow cuz i`m tired today after school
