Good guide man !
In this scam you are going to have to have:
1. An account you're going to sell
2. A new account with the same last name as the one you're trying to sell (Easy to get free CD Codes, just look it up.)
3. A credit card with at least $25 to make an account transfer, you cannot use paypal to do an Account transfer.
4. In the end you will make some profit, so don't worry.
5. This can only be done once a month.
6. This has not been tested, only an idea; and IMO a pretty good one.
With your new CD Keys, make a new account at worldofwarcraft.com Now, with your
original account (the one that you're going to be selling) set up an account transfer to the new account; BUT DO
NOT VERIFY THE TRANSFER IN YOUR EMAIL. Now go to markeedragon.com and make a thread in the buy/sell
section about the original account that you're going to be selling, the price that you set the account at is going to
be how much profit you will make.
Once you get an offer from someone that wants to buy your account and sounds legit, start selling your account to them. Make sure you go through all of the regular safety procedures so that you don't get scammed, and be legit!
Then when you get your money, secure it using one of our lovely guides here. However do not secure the money before you verify the transfer, you will have to do both very quickly or you will fail.
The scam, is to then click the verify transfer link in the email, to the new account for the character as soon as
you get the money. This would make it so that you sell him the account and he still sees the character and
thinks its there, but you actually end up with a new account with the character, and the money.
You would need to do the scam before he gets the chance to log on your character!
The guy you scammed will have no idea wtf happened and you get profit.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
1. If he tries to log into the character it screws up the transfer and your scam fails.
2. If for some reason he goes onto character transfers(account management) you are screwed as well.
3. He may talk to a gm and say that his character disappeared and that he would like to restore it.(This can be good or bad because you could get the money and the character or you can lose the character and get the money.)
4. Since info was changed the link to verify the transfer could become invalid, and your scam fails and you are forced to recall the old way.

Good guide man !
Idon't want to try this...If the scam fails i'll loose money^^
"Once you get an offer from someone that wants to buy your account and sounds legit..."
we all sound legit mate. too risky
if you are the original owner, just give him the account, check armory every week, when you like the gear you retrieve it. Always give a fake cd key picture and no id.
I won't try any scams where i gotta use money tbfh. I'm too poor.
Don't know if i want to take such a risk xD
