Free Monkey Scam [Theory]

[thebigman]

I was looking around and lookie here, what is this?

Monkey scam? FunAdvice.com

A person, in order to get their credit card info, offered a free monkey if they paid shipping and handling, and some stupid 15 year old nearly gave them the info. I think we can turn this into a scam somehow. Maybe we have the account on a peice of paper and will mail it to you, you need to pay for shipping and handling? I don't fully know yet but I believe this to have potential.

This thread is full of win and fail.
It's win because I'd love a monkey.
It's fail because nobody will fall for this scam.

I'm not gonna lie, a monkey would be so suspicious, it wouldn't be suspicious. This one guy I knew bought a cat from like, China through the mail.

Not sure if you noticed this, but honestly you described 90% of anyone who has been scammed by an mmowned member.

Dude, WoW Accounts is not the same as a freaking monkey ._.

Or you could just COD the monkey for like, $200 bucks more than it's worth.
If an overpriced monkey were shipped to my house, I'd buy the shit out of it.

The monkey is a metaphor, I don't mean litterly ingame sell a monkey for gold...

Mean like HUGE ASS FREE PRIZE, enter info here to recieve it. e.g. a phisher with something cool on it thats not a mount/free gold/ or any typical run of the mill phishers. Maybe something involving....paypal info? :P

[jasejunk]

Paypal phishing is way worse than account phishing and can land you in serious trouble.
Unlike Blizz, Paypal actually checks their logs ;p
