LOL I didn't know the space trick still worked!! I used to mess with people so hard with that... This seems to be a really good scam though, I'm going to try it later.
Couldn't find this anywhere i did it a few times so ill let the public use it.
This scam is a brand new TCG scam.
Ok, this scam has 4 steps.
Seek.
Convince.
Middleman.
Gold.
SEEK.
Ok, find a target by spamming a macro in trade chat, the macro I use is
Code:
/2 Looking to sell TCG Reward, Riding Turtle, whisper me for details.Find 1 buyer, make sure he is willing to pay the amount of gold you want, I usually ask for 2k.
CONVINCE.
Now that you have him, convince him you are legit [Just don't take it overboard] Tell him that you have a post on E-bay but it never sold, then link him a random post. [I got this idea from a different thread... this is not what the whole post is about...] Once he believes you are legit, tell him to meet you at a flightpath in IF or SW, wherever you are.
MIDDLEMAN.
Once you are both at the flight path, tell him that to make sure neither of us are scamming, you will let him pick a "Middleman" to hold all his gold while he gets his Mount, after he gets his mount, the Middleman will trade the gold. Explain to him that when he flies to Booty Bay that once he gets his mount, to link it into party chat... once the Middleman sees the link, it means to trade the gold. After he agrees to this, tell him to find his middleman, give him the gold, then take the flight.
FLIGHT.
Ok, now be watching the map, once he is close to Booty Bay, tell him a fake code... TCG codes are 25 digits long with numbers and letters. Most people do not know what a TCG code actually looks like so this portion is not that crucial. Once he is putting in the code, type something along the lines of this...
You will be typing Got it yet? then spacing all the way over... so you cannot see your text, then posing as the victim linking the mount. [Use Atlas Loot Enhanced, available at curse.com ... thanks for the reminder spiderpigz!]
Code:
[Party] [Biospecies]: Got the code yet? <>< >< >
[Party] [Stupidnub]: [Riding Turtle]The middleman SHOULD trade the gold, if he doesnt, tell him right away, TRADE, he got the mount. If he doesnt log off and delete your character.
GOLD.
Ok, now that you have your 2k gold, ignore any psts that come in saying SCAMMER... and move on. Now, you should be doing this on a scammed account, not your main account. Follow these instructions for laundering your gold.
1. Make an alt on both your scammed account and main account.
2. Send gold from Scamming Character to Scamming Alt.
3. Send gold form Scamming Alt to Main alt.
4. Send gold from Main alt, to your Main Character.
5. Delete your scammed alt and your main alt.
6. Create a new alt on both accounts with the same name/race/class.
7. C: Program Files>>World of Warcraft>>WTF. Delete that folder.
8. Enjoy your gold.
That is it for my TCG scam, hope you liked it.
Eh, it is probably going to get overused and mega well-known, but oh well >.>/

isnt this a repost? maybe not
please rep me
Two things, don't ask for rep(directed at poster above me), and you spelled TCG wrong in your title. and i'm pretty sure this is a repost.
the space thing dont work if the person has resized the chat window or has and custom UI.
Repost, I'll edit link in later.
Also, spacing to a new line doesn't work anymore, there's an indention.
Fail thread, /thread.
