That was pretty interesting. Really, the scams that involve psychology are my favourite kind. Wish I was better at it.
This guide was written as a basic way to be able to use wording and suggestion to be able to get information out of people you want to scam.
Everyone should know what this is, if you do not, let me explain. Mental Suggestion is a way of getting a person to be able to trust you enough so that they give up possessions or information (giving them a false sense of security) by using clever wording and placing false information into their minds without them noticing..
I use this method if I see a nicely geared 80 that I want :P I begin the process by assisting them kill an elite mob or letting them get a herb I could've easily gotten. This normally initiates a conversation with the person, even if it's just a whisper saying "Thanks".
I would then proceed to offer my help with another quest or something. If they sure and invite you then you have set the events in motion.
An important thing to note is that I use this method to make DataMining people alot easier. So when you are trying to get information from them give them false information about you...
You could do this like this, for example;
You: Crap, BRB my parents just got back from holiday and they're gonna be moody lol - Dubai to newcastle is a long flight.
Victim: Lol kk
Even if they don't notice this, they have already established a fact about you subconsciously, you live in Newcastle (I don't btw).
Once you have sat around doing F.A for a while you want to come back an sound relieved to be back at your PC, i.e.
You: Ok back, jesus they were at each others necks!!
Vicitm: Lol, sounds fun :P What quest was next?
You: Not sure, I don't have long left...
Victim: Oh..
You: Where do you live? Cos our timezones might be different, it's quite late here.
Victim: I live in Norway
You: Ah klkl, im in the UK
Now you have established the country they live in, not much help but it can narrow down results of your DataMining on MySpace, Facebook etc...
Now is the point I would normally log off after adding them to my friends list, to continue the next day.
You will want to carry on asking various questions about them after leaving subconscious information about yourself in their minds. This is because the brain works as your 'sixth sense'. When you feel a 'good vibe' from someone it is because your mind feels that it has established enough information about them through their body language and the way they talk to be able to trust them.
By leaving those small pieces of information fresh in their minds you make them feel more comfortable about answering questions that you ask, which is why I use this method;
1) Give out subtle information about yourself
2) Ask them a question about themselves a little later
3) Repeat over a period of time.
Once you have a lot of information you can DataMine more efficiently, or maybe you wont even need to if you talk to them for long enough!
Also, when you are giving out false information always remember the lies you have told so you dont trip over your own words![]()
This was just my little guide on how I gain information from people. Please remember that the examples given here are just a rough guide that you can manipulate to be able to use the way you want.
