Remember, acting like a noob increase your chances to success with this scam!
First, start by creating 2 new email adresses. 1 for gold selling website and 1 for a chinese account buyer.
Step 1: Now make sure both the gold seller and the account buyer is online.
Let's talk to the account buyer first.
- Tell them that you have a very good geared char, (Sigoth says: imba geared s3 warrior) and give them an armory link (you'll have to find one random on armory, just try search some keywords and you'll find one.)
When he's convinced, tell him you'll be back later. Say you need to think about it.
Step 2: Now talk to the gold sellers, preferbly on MSN.
- Ask 'em how much X gold they have on your server, so if your server is Shattered Hand EU ask him something like this: how many gold you have on shattered hand. If you're lucky they tell you a really big amount of gold and a price too.
- Tell them that you want to buy it and hold on while you're transfering funds to your PayPal account.
NOTE: Remember to ask for they PayPal adress too.
Step 3: OVer to the account buyer and tell him you want something between $350-$500.
NOTE: If the gold seller want $300 for your gold, tell the account buyer that you want around $350 or even $400
- You need to offer a price that is higher then what the gold seller was offering.
- Accept their offer and now they'll prolly tell you to hold on while they get the money.
Step 4: Over to the gold seller AGAIN - REMEMBER READ THIS STEP CAREFULLY! If the gold is for $300 and the account buyer offering $350.
- Tell the gold seller something like this: " Hey will i get my gold instant i will send you $350 if i get it within 2 mins"
- Most of the times, they'll agree.
Step 5: Now to the account buyer, he'll probably say something like this now:
"ok i have the funds whats your paypal"
Step 6: Go back to the gold seller and say that you are wiling to send the money now.
- NOW!! Give the ACCOUNT BUYER, the GOLD SELLERS PAYPAL.
This is the key to the whole scam.
You'll make the account buyer pay the gold for you.
- Now the account buyer will tell you something like "Okey, I've sent you the money now!"
Step 7: Now keep asking the gold seller if he has got the money.
- Finally he'll say yes, then tell him: "i send an extra $50 but i want the gold right now!!"
Remember to tell the character name and realm name so the gold seller can whisper you ingame.
After some time you'll prolly get a level 1 whisper to you about the gold.
Invite him and accept the trade.
Congratulations, you've successfully pulled of the scam.

Scamming Master
Wow I'm amazed that this hasn't been done before. Truly well thought out I'm gonna give it a try.
Very well thought out scam! Great guide too.
This is good! Where's a good place to sell accounts though?
This could possibly work o.O Very nice... +rep for you
+rep, u deserve it
I do this in the AH.
The hardest part is finding website who is willing to buy your account :P
Been looking for 2 hours now and it seems like there is noone out there
Which one was that?
you dont go to a website like ige or anything like that u need to target the scammers on trade websites like wowtrade.org and places like that.
Do you use a reputable gold seller ?
As far as i can tell they don't actually get scammed, they get the money.
reason they end up in rachet so fast is cos they use wall hacks to just teleport or run. i had one add me when buying gold and he was in starting area i saw his icon basically run over all the mountains to rachet.
Very nice guide
