Money for nothing...

[Rodo]

...well, maybe 20bucks.

I bought a pre-bc account to scam on a while back and recently recharged it to get the rest of the gold I left on there. While I was sending the gold to my main, I figured, I don't need this account anymore.

So, I sold it...along with all three level one toons for close to 300USD.

1. REQUIREMENTS: A bullshit account, and your real account.

2. Go onto markee and advertise your main account and even offer to show in game. Now, when you show them in game, they will say, okay...nice stuff. Lets do this.

3. Now go in reverse, and somewhat off. Don't give them the user and pass first...tell them that you will change the info...start changing the info on the BS account to theirs. Being sure that you have the cas before you send that inal password changing email.

4. By the time they log on, you're a million miles away with a paypal that's 300+USD heavier, and they have a nice, new PRE-BC account.

Technically if you say it was a wow account they will not refund money, at least in my experience.

Isnt that because its somewhat "illegal" to sell wow accounts because they are not your property, thats why ebay took them off. Your just selling time pretty much and paypal doesnt see that as merchindise.
Nice post btw.

When you do the scam, it would be best to tell the other player to "Claim and Cancel" so when he realises it's not the account that was stated, he has NOchance of getting it back.

By "Claiming and Cancelling", he's using up his chance to appeal for the money to be reinstated.

"Now for Dummies"

Do everything that ^^ that dude told you. But before providing him with information, ask him to "Claim and Cancel" so you know that he cannot get the money back.

Even if he says he doesn't want to do this, you can call him the scammer to make him uneasy, he will probably go ahead and do it after peer pressure.

Or more easily you can go ahead without him doing this process. Because the buyer can't give proof of purchase to PayPal as it's all done over the internet, no shipping documents etc. And if you have a CC-funded PayPal account, you should cash the money FROM your PayPal account TO your bank account and that way, if he does succeed in convincing PayPal that they have been scammed of x amount of money, the cash cannot be reinstated as according to PayPal, that money no longer exists. OR if they are real hard-nuts. they will sue yo' ass! (Well maybe not so dramatic, but be careful)

I would suggest keeping the cash in your account as if it needs to be reinstated to the "Victim", you can get off the hook with your account ready to repeat the process.

Hope that helped a little.

Kinda old

But a good trick would be to insted telling em to "Send money to this account" give em the link to "DONATE".. as far as i know you wont get any trouble for that because they are donating and everyone knows that donations cant be refunded because they are "DONATION"... noone can force you to "DONATE" money...

and Paypal wont belive there stories about.. ZOMG he zricked ME!

so add the donation option in your little guide
