(NEW) The Ransom Scam (GOLD)

[Hmmmmm]

Basically all you need is a a scammed account's
username
password
Secret answer
his email or his aim or MSN.

I use old accounts that I've scammed before from my phisher.

After selling all the gold from the account, here is a way to squeeze out 5-10k more


Okay, just recall the account or go into account management if you have the pass, doesnt matter if you have solo possession of the account. go into parental controls and register one of your emails for it. Send the guy an email explaining that you put parental controls on and that it is impossible for him to remove it, and that he can get his account back easily but it's worthless without the parental controls pass. say that if he ever wants to play again he must give you 5,000 gold, on any server, first. also in the email, leave your AIM or MSN that he can contact you on when he has the gold.

he will probably say "WTF MAN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THE GOLD WITHOUT MY ACCOUNT?!?" tell him that its not your problem and tell him to let you know when he has it. Typically within a few minutes-days, depending on how many RL friends with gold or guildmates that he has, he WILL give the money.

the beauty of this scam is that it doesnt require outsmarting anyone. you simply lock their account and they will eventually realize that they actually have to meet your demands. worked every time I've tried it

[Tapeworm]

And how many times have you tried it?

[Hmmmmm]

Maybe fifteen, give it a go yourself and post back when it works ^^

only scam ive ever done thats actually had a 100% success rate. unless they want 5k gold more than they want their account, then it WILL work. they really dont have a choice. more than half my victims call blizzard and its funny because blizzard tells them theres nothing they can do

[milosh23]

[Mirror]

[Hmmmmm]

You know blizzard aren't that easy to play with.
"Ring" "Ring"
Blizzard "Hello this is Blizzard how may I help you?"
Guy "Ye well my account got stolen and some random retard put parental control on it"
Blizzard "Hold on one moment sir (Waiting)... Can you please send us an ID to prove that your over 18."
Guy "Ye okay."
Blizzard "Okay sir we shall reset your password and remove the parental control."
Guy "kthxbye.

Negative, they don't ask for ID to prove that you're over 18. They say you need the parent's ID to do it, several 18 year olds live with their parents and are always calling to get parental controls removed. It's not that simple

[The God Father]

When your 18, your not in the hand of your parents. So you can...

[Hmmmmm]

not necessarily, ill call when they open on monday and test it. even if that is the case, the percentage of wow players tradng that are under 18 is ridiculous, so this still works perfectly

[The God Father]

Yup... and besides Blizzard wouldn't think parents would put parental control on a 18 year old.

[Hmmmmm]

we'll see I guess, i dont wanna say something if im not sure about it. you could be right

[Jack Bauer]

then im safe
