New email Changing scam

[cjreije]

With the new recover email system through the WoW-website, you can go through a full trade, but afterwards, end up with two accounts.

What you do is:
1) find someone you want to trade with
2) complete the trade (DONT GIVE THEM FIRST AND LAST NAME!!!!)
3) check the email on the account (through your email when they request the change)
4) put that email AND SQA into the email recovery on
WoW.com Account/Password Retrieval
5) change both account emails to a BRAND NEW EMAIL ACCOUNT


Hope this helps!!!!
doesn't work on smart people, meaning they think of EVERYTHING in a trade.

He's basically saying,

Sell the account

then Change the E-Mail address linked to it,

you would really hope anyone attempting to scam would already know this common knowledge, which is standard Blizzard procedure.

The reason you don't give them the last name is so they don't have any chance of playing recall wars with you.

I had to use the above procedure to recover one of my legitimate accounts recently. However please be aware, Blizzard may take 2-3 days to respond to your request to recall the account, I think the post (albeit, common knowledge) could do with some re-wording and clarification, as it's just a regurgitation of what we already know currently. Perhaps the reasononing behind your steps would be a good start, to help people understand the steps and why they are performing each.

Keep in mind, anyone willing to trade with you without you giving them the first/last name & any other requested details is probably trying to scam you also.
