Making scamming easier (trust issues)

[Poorfox]

I haven't been able to find this anywhere on MMOwned, so I thought I'd make my first real contribution =)

A problem for many scammers is the time spent gaining the trust of the person you're trying to scam. A method I've found to work wonders is;

1) make a scamming msn account
2) give it a FEMALE - but realistic display name - not just "Name", but one of the emote-filled nonsensical names that people often use on social accounts
3) put up a display picture of an attractive looking girl
4) flirt - not too obviously - with the guy you're trying to scam

This should put him more at ease, because, let's face it, many of the people who want to buy/sell a WoW account will jump at the chance to get a little flirty with a good looking girl, as a species we're not that socially active, no offence intended of course.

Having him being at ease should make the whole scam easier to pull off, no matter what the scam is; remember that the CON in Con Artist stands for confidence.

Happy scamming!

THIS WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A SCAM! JUST A TRIAL RUN!

[Lorps]

Haha, i've got to try this, will get back with results.

a li'l word of advice - if you're using a display picture on msn or something, make sure that it looks like a real picture and not something glossy like out of a magazine. Having "you" being with some others in the picture also works, as it makes it seem like you have a life, backing up your identity =)
