Simple Way to keep scammed account gold/items -and perm Ban the account

[sirdavino]

Ok so I tried a new spin on a scammed account I had – I wanted to try a different idea for a perm ban. In a way that it would not be released.

Here’s what I did and it’s so simple… Too simple!!

1) Jump on your scammed account (I used an IP masker)
2) Log into your account (Not from same computer) or use a friend you trust. I used an alt account to test this. (Not my Main)
3) Send yourself an in-game mail, this is what I said from the scammed account to me;
Hey D******* (my name) could you do me a favor and hold these items for me a few days I am trying something out.

4) Send everything that is of any value, also I opened a trade chat saying giving away gold and items as I was quitting wow. Gave away like 20 gold and some not important crap.
5) Send a whisper to the scammed account saying what are you doing? I don’t have much bag/bank room.
6) Send a reply; (I used) nothing man just cleaning out my account ill get it back in a few days, just leave it in your mail if you don’t have room.
7) ** OK I left it all in the mailbox, didn’t even open it.

Ok I logged into my e-mail on Monday 3 days later and had a letter from blizzard informing me of “suspicious activity” (I will post SS later tonight or in morning) So I jumped on my toon, and sent an in game ticket to the GM asking what’s up? I was referred to call them so I did (playing dumb) I spoke to them and was told that there was a question of non-authorized account activity and my account may have been involved – now playing dumb and a little scared, I talk to the account rep and said after like 10 minutes of fishing – this have anything to due with my friend Jason (first name on the account).

Anyway I found out that it did and the account was banned, and today is my 4th day and I still have the items in my bank.

I will update over the weekend on status of items

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING TO DO

This may actually work, but takes a little too much of an effort and I'm afraid that it will be soon get overused, which will lead to a sudden opening of all GM's eyes.
Still, cheers for the idea.
