CC Scam(?)

[Netzgeist]

Hi d00ds,
so here's my idea:

Get a credit card or use your own. Buy some gold from a good company. Should be one that offers "instant" delivery.
After the gold transaction, call your cc-provider and claim that your card was stolen.
You should get your money backcharged but still have the gold (cause blizz wont possibly backcharge it lol)

So what about this one? Never tried it, just my ideas. What doya think, will it work?

This is kind of a one time deal, how many times can your credit card get stolen?
Also, I'm sure you could get into some trouble if they found out it wasn't stolen.

Ok, lets say its a onetime deal, or lets say its a "x" time deal where "x" is the number of friends that are willing to help me on this, that not the point.
The point im asking for is: Is there anything the goldsellers may do to revenge on me at all? I dont think that they would report this scam to blizz, they would risk their goldbases while doin it. So its imho a good scam

Just hide, it and go down in your bank and tell you got mocked and they stole your credit card and your wallet, or just your wallet where your credit card was in, simple. Yes.

This method will just cause un-needed hassle with getting a new credit card, cheque book etc... good idea in theory, though.

there's no site accepting direct credit cards unless through paypal; which includes even more hassle.
