Allright, to the scam.
First off you will need a scammed account to start with, a trial account might also work since the only thing in this scam that you have to do is whispering people. But I'm not sure how trial accounts work.
Okay, first off you have to pick any server that you want to try to scam an account off, then make a level on toon with a name such as "wowrenting". then just browse /who 80 shaman (or any class you like). Now just whisper everyone something like this:
"Hello there! Sorry to interrupt your gameplay but we are currently in need of renting a few accounts. If you hav e any account that you wish to rent to us, we will pay 500gold or 7$ a day. Are you intrested?"
Now you just spam this to everyone and hope for getting anyone intrested, of course most of the people will just ignore this message, but sooner or later you will catch a fool. He will most likely ask you a few questions, keep to this story.
We are a company that are located in china, we are renting peoples account to farm on them, we will use the account 23hours a day so we don't want you to log on at anytime during the renting progress. Thats basiclly the scam.
I recommend you to get the AddOn WIM when doing this, it'll make it alot easier to keep the contact with eveyrone, you can download it here:
WIM (WoW Instant Messenger) v3 - Addons - Curse
The best part of this scam, is that you can chose what server the characters will be on, so you can just login and transfer the gold to your character.
A good tip:
You can also browse people in level 70-79 or even 60-79. The lower levels are usually falling for it much easier, just add that they will gain levels during the renting progress.
I know that the win chance ain't to big, but it's not way to low either. This can easily get you a few accounts atleast.
IF this haven't been posted before, then it'll get overused pretty fast I guess, so use it while you can!
EDIT: This will not work with trial accounts!
