Here's a pretty easy, new scam that I've been using. I've already scammed a number of 80s using this.
What it is, is you pretend to be an Admin on a private server and say that the server is accepting retail accounts as donations, which will be rewarded with GM powers.
So, here's how you do it:
First of all, you need this addon: http://www.mmowned.com/forums/emulat...chat-hack.html. The addon allows you to impersonate GM announcements and whispers in the chat box.
Now, you need to find a private server.
Find them here: World of Warcraft top 100 - Private servers, Guides, Guilds, free servers
Instant 80 servers are best, so if players /who you you don't appear as level 1. GMs would never be level 1.
Also, pick one that's relatively small. Definitely not in the top 25.
Now, get onto the server. First and foremost, make sure there are NO GMS ONLINE (make a ticket to check). If there are GMs frequently online, go to a different server.
Now go to the mall or main area.
Turn on fake announcement mode ( command is /cmadmin ) and say something along the lines of "For players who are interested, we are accepting retail accounts as donations in exchange for GM powers. Whisper me for more information." in trade or general chat.
Repeat this periodically, and then just wait for whispers.
When you get a whisper, turn on GM Whisper Impersonation mode (command is /cmwhisper) and reply to the whispers.
Now just get their account info from them, and say that their GM powers will be granted in a day or two.
Remember, they think you're a GM, and they think that if they give you their retail account, they will receive GM powers.
Just act well, and people will be rushing to give to give you their accounts
Good luck scamming!
