[New] The Blackmail Scam

[Persian]

Ok guys, I'm back with a brand new scam.

Note before I start: This scam is currently untested and is therefore based all on theory. I have however tried similar types of scams, not related to WoW, using methods similar to this.
You may even find this scam completely ridiculous!
I don't really care, i'm just posting for anyone who might like it.

This IS NOT an 'add them and threaten to tell blizzard they're selling their account scam.'

There is NOTHING required for this scam other than a messenger (MSN/AIM) and a PayPal to recieve the money. Both of these can be made for free on their websites (google them).

For this scam, you'll be getting MONEY from them, not WoW Accounts or Gold. You MIGHT be able to get those things, but like i said, this is untested.

Method:
1) Go on an account selling/trading site and find someone who is selling/trading/buying an account.

2) Talk to them. This is just to get their personal information, we really don't give a s*** about their WoW Account. You should ask some questions just to sound legit.
You should work on getting their email (should already have that...), full name (not absolutely necessary, but can help) and phone number (most important).

You can get the phone number by saying 'you mind talking on the phone first? Just to verify who you are.'

3) Once they've given you their phone number, you threaten them :P.
Tell them to pay you "X" amount of $ or you'll post their personal information online in public places, and they'll recieve a lot of trouble through spam etc.

From there it's just up to them to decide yes or no.

They might not be convinced that you would do that, so there are a few things you can do that might change their minds...

a) Say you'll post their info on a forum like 4chan.
b) Keep calling them up pretending to be different people, or get friends to call them.
c) Mail-Bomb their inbox.

OR ---> the following i used to do to piss people off and make them have to change their email addresses.

d) Go to a chat site like teenchat.com. They're full of paedophiles. Just post their email there and in the next minute, they'll have at least 50 people trying to talk to them. Post it there once, and they'll be like 'wtf, how did he do that so fast', and they might pay you .
You can post their number there too.

4) Either they accepted or they didn't. If they didn't, you can just leave them alone, or you can actually go and post their info everywhere online just to be annoying...

_____________________

Advice (Based on Theory) -
Ask for little amounts of money - $2 to $10.
This way it's more likely they'll agree. Think of it, you can talk to like 100 people at once, so if you have a decent success rate, even at $5, it should be good.

I know this isn't directly a WoW Scam, but it's using WoW to get info on them to scam them, so i think it counts.

Again, this is untested, and it's a really screwed up scam. But it could work :P.

This is so illegal , that there should be made a new section for this kind of stuff Scams is not good enaugh for it

[Persian]

Its just to put out the idea :P, as i said, not tested so obviously i havent done it :P.
I actaully kindof tested this once, but not for money. THis guy was gonna report me for scamming, so i said don't or i post info. It worked, but he had nothing to lose then i guess...

Funny how a retarded scam idea gets more replies than a good one.
