    [Social Scam] Make People to buy your auction!

    I dont know if it is a +Repost, but i saw a player using this scam what will i write on our realms.

    1) Put your item into the auction for big price - but it has to be the only auction of this item in AH!
    2) Create lvl 1 character
    3) Spam /2 WTB Help - I will give you 500 gold for helping me to deliver an item to Alliance/Horde
    4) Say to your victim "Please buy item BLABLABLA from AH... It is for 2000g but nobody from alliance/horde sells it. I will pay 2000g + 25% because of neutral AH fee + 500g for you"
    5) When Victim buys your item, you will say "go **** yourself", logout, delete your lvl 1 char, log on your main, wait 1 hour, ???, profit

    This is way more then the 3rd RE-post, and this is an OLD scam and most people know about it and catch on.

    +rep Sounds like a good idea. Probably a repost but nothing I can do since you helped me anyway.

    there is no way this will work

    all the person has to do is report you for this and your account will be banned
    all chat logs are recorded and the GMs know's what account them characters belong to
    even if you delete the character afterwards, you will still get owned

    allot more then you realise is recorded by the servers, you only get busted if you are reported, but most will realise they were scammed, and report you

    not to mention you are unlikely to find someone who will go along with this, and they will probably make you trade the item to them instead of buy it from the AH

    not only that, but they are not going to trust a level 1 characters word
