[SCAM] AH scam refined a bit.

[Dracle]

This uses the well known Auction Huse Scam - ill remind a bit:

1. Make 2 Alts.
2. Buy some rare twink item - or just anything that you find good for that purpose.
3. Repost the item on the AH with an alt pricing it higher by about 50g
4. Relog to another alt.
5. Advertise in the 2.Trade that you want to buy the item you posted on AH for extraordinary high price.
6. Wait for the victim to buy your item from AH for high price and just say that "Sorry already got from someone else"

This is basically a good old scam widely used - i would only like to add some tips that i find particularily usefull when doing it.

TIP1: Park the alt you spam 2.Trade with at the AH - this will make it easier to check if your auction sold - pretty obvious

TIP2: A lot of times when i was at first trying this scam i got whispers from kind people saying "Check the AH - its there for lot cheaper than you offer to buy". This is problematic - if you just ignore someone whispering that kind of advice - he will become suspicious fast and will rpobably warn popele on 2. that its a scam of some kind. I noticed that very simple response "I know its on AH but guy that sells it is a dickhead and i dont want to let him earn gold" works wonders. Often that same person will laugh and will buy that item and whisper again - hey i got the item for you or something.

TIP3: Same situation as below - only this time you reply that you cant see the item on the AH. Play dumb for a while and pretend you figured that the person selling the item you are "looking" for is on you ignore list - say something like "Ignored people's auctions dont show up, i wont unignore - his a !@#$%% - wont buy from him" - again - people will sniff income and buy that item even more eagerly.


All that sounds simple and obvious but it will make your scam more succesfull and in the effect you will get more gold
