I can't read shit.
So, iv' been leaching off here for a while and i have decided to put down a little scam i came up with. (if it has been posted before, sorry iv' never seen any threads about it) This scam involves stealing gold off a person who is looking for someone to xfer their character.
What you need:
1) WoW alt account (alt account recommended because it COULD get banned)
2) Scammed account or an account that you woudn't mind if it got banned.
3) Social skills, one of the most important things in any scam.
4) IP hider, etc for protection (Recommended)
Ok, well 1st thing is to find yourself a victim. Google is your friend in finding trading websites. I would try Markee 1st since it is the largest and finding someone will be a lot easier. After you found yourself a victim, add him to aim/msn watever, chat him for a bit. Don't move in for the kill after 2 minutes. This where your social skills come in hand. Keep talking to him for a bit, make him feel like he can trust you. You should also try to get him to reveal what server and faction he is, this will help you later.
Next, he will probably give you his account name and password and tell you all the info regarding the xfer. Before this you should have wow open with the scammed account. If he has revealed his char info before hand you should have a mule ready. If not, log into your scammed account, make a char on the server and faction his char is. Next, log onto his account(on a different wow screen, so you should 2 wow opened with your scammed account and his account), drop by the bank put everything in bags. Go to the nearest vendor and vendor everything. IF your lucky you should have a few hundred maybe even more gold. Meet your char at starting area, trade the gold. Done. During this you should also keep him busy on aim/msn so he doesn't get suspecious.
Now, block him, delete his char if your an bastard. Remember what the name of your char is (for argument sake i'l call him mule1.)
Next is my method for keeping stolen gold, has worked 100% so far, if you have better methods, by all means use them
Next, go to your alt account, make another char(i'l call him mule2) on the same server/faction. Trade from mule1 to mule2 all the gold. Delete mule1, then create another char called mule1 (should be same faction/server/sex etc). Exit your scammed account wow window since you will not need it again.
With your alt account now, you should do one of the following. Find a guild or someone trusty and ask him to help you xfer some gold. Make another character(mule3) on the same server/faction, find the guy, trade your gold to mule3. Now, delete mule2, remake another char called mule2.
By this point it should be pretty safe. If you have a green item or something for the trade even better.
Ok, now for the fun part, what to do with the gold. you can:
1) give it to some newb, make his day
2) trade it for gold on your main account or wherever
3) find one of those chinese farmers' website sell it to them and make a quick buck.
Hope you guys enjoyed it, i have more little scams like these which i will post sometime in the future hopefully

sorry i didn't realize how bad it was.
can you trade on trail accounts?
i dont think trial accounts can trade...
what a shame, i used scammed accounts to do it, i figured it would work on a trial account just as well. Thanks for the input.
Trial's cant trade ? They didnt use to be able to anyway =/
