Posing as a Company

[Hasselhoff]

I only do this on AIM/MSN.

[Woink]

So simple yet so good, all I had to do was try ones and I was another account richer, not the best character but wth it's another account to scam on. Thanks again Hasselhoff

[Mr. Herbert]

nice man have a rep cookie

[Hasselhoff]

Mmmmm, Cookies are delicious!

[Icicle]

And what do you say when they ask for what your company's website is...?

[Hasselhoff]

Make one up. I personally have never been asked.

Say something like WoWAccountsNet if they ask why they cannot find it, you can say its down for construction.

Generally if they want to know the company, you should start looking for a new victim because that one will not work.

[Techno Marine]

It would be nice if you could make them change to your email first too.

[Hasselhoff]

?... Just ask them to change it...

Hassel, I have used this method before, back before I got banned and all that jazz. If I may add a little to your scam, this is the standard verbiage I use before scamming gold using the TCG scam. Once I have them convinced that I'm not a single person selling these accounts (but with a touch of vagueness), and the trade is about to progress, I post in chat:

Me - At this point I would request your permission to screenshot the remainder of this conversation for legal purposes.

Victim - Sure.

Me - I, (toon name), an employee of Wow-mine.com and Wowmine Inc. hereby agree to sell to you one World of Warcraft: Fires of Outland loot code for the agreed upon price of 1000g. Is this correct?

Victim - Yes.

Me - I would now ask that you give me the agreed upon price of 1000g for said item.

(Open trade - Take Gold)

Me - As an employee of Wow-mine.com and Wowmine Inc. I am required to inform you that this trade is against the World of Warcraft Terms of Service/EULA. Wow-mine.com holds no responsibility for the possible suspension or ban of your account if said transaction is revealed to Blizzard Entertainment. Your Code is: 9925BF.

(That blurb about the illegal transaction keeps you from being reported . And if they suddenly get cold feet, they can't have their gold back because you put the code in with that paragraph.)

Victim - Okay. Is that all I need?

Me - Yes. From here you will need to go to Wow-mine.com(doesn't exist) and click on the tab that reads "Loot Redemption." From there you will be directed to enter the code I gave you above and register for an account with wow-mine.com. Once the code has been verified true, you will receive an email with another code, and a link to the Upper Deck website for redemption and further instructions. Do you understand?

Victim - So the code you gave me isn't the redemption code?

Me - It is, but only for our records and sales. You will get the actual Upper Deck redemption code in your email from Wow-mine.com.

Victim - What if the code doesn't work?

Me - Wow-mine.com backs up all sales with a 100% guarantee. If at any time you lose or find a trouble with an unredeemed code, you may contact customer service via live chat via our website. If for technical reasons our site is down, you may contact the same customer service chat at our sister-site wowmine.com, or call 1-800-966-2653 (actual number) M-F 8am-5pm EST.

Victim - The site doesn't work.

Me - I am sorry, but at this point, having referred you to our customer service and presented to you the risks of this sale against the Terms of Service, I am unable to assist you any further.

/ignore.

Noobs won't report for fear of being banned. Also, never mention who you work for prior to getting the gold, or until you know the deal is sealed as they can check up on you before paying. Enjoy!

This sounds really good! +rep for you!

[ReidE96]

Damn, so close too. JDaviesB is me.

JDaviesB (19:56:29): Hello. I'm interested in the account you're selling. Mind if I ask you a few questions?
cbone137 (19:56:5: sure ask away
JDaviesB (19:57:27): 1) Are you the original owner?
2) How much gold is on the account?
cbone137 (19:57:35): yeah
cbone137 (19:57:41): and um not much only around 100
JDaviesB (19:57:43): 3) Do you have a minimum price
cbone137 (19:58:13): um not until i get some offers to see what people will pay
JDaviesB (19:58:33): Ok, please wait a minute whilst I get your quote.
cbone137 (19:58:39): alright
JDaviesB (19:58:4: Do you have a rough price you're hoping for?
JDaviesB (19:58:57): (sorry, forgot to ask that one)
cbone137 (19:59:13): probably 500 or more
JDaviesB (19:59:23): USD or GBP?
cbone137 (19:59:39): usd
JDaviesB (20:00:13): Ok, please wait whilst I get your quote.
cbone137 (20:00:22): ok cool
JDaviesB (20:01:36): Ok, we can offer you $600 for your account at this time, plus an extra $25 if you have the cd-keys.
JDaviesB (20:01:43): Is this acceptable?
cbone137 (20:02:1: how would you plan on getting the money to me and my account to you
JDaviesB (20:03:49): We send funds via PayPal. If you accept this offer, you will need to have the Full Name on the account, Secret Question and Answer, access to Email on the account, Username, and Password. For our security we require all information before the funds are released into your PayPal. NOTE: We will ONLY use PayPal to pay for your World of Warcraft account.
JDaviesB (20:04:42): If this is not acceptable, we can discuss further due to some recent policy changes.
cbone137 (20:05:13): one sec please
JDaviesB (20:05:1: Certainly.
cbone137 (20:10:31): alright whats ur other policies? i need to make sure your legit
JDaviesB (20:12:29): The recent policy changes allow us to pay after only receiving some of the details on accounts above a certain quality level (we pay more for higher quality accounts, and rate accounts on lots of factors - number of characters, level, gear, class, arena points, pretty much everything). Your account may just qualify for this higher band of accounts.
cbone137 (20:14:17): could i give username and pass then you send some money?
JDaviesB (20:14:49): Well, it depends on whether the account qualifies for the higher band.
JDaviesB (20:15:00): Please wait whilst I reread your post and check if it does.
cbone137 (20:15:10): ok thanks
JDaviesB (20:18:24): Ok, I need to ask my boss a couple of questions about some specifics, this new policy is still quite new and none of us are too certain with the ins and outs of it.
cbone137 (20:18:36): ok, take your time
JDaviesB (20:25:12): Ok, one last question - Has your account ever been banned/suspended?
cbone137 (20:25:22): no
JDaviesB (20:25:31): Good, it qualifies for the higher band.
cbone137 (20:26:21): ok one moment please
JDaviesB (20:26:30): Ok
cbone137 (20:36:05): how much longer can you wait?
JDaviesB (20:36:21): I'm here for a good while still.
JDaviesB (20:36:29): Are you ready to trade?
cbone137 (20:36:42): i gotta check my paypal hold on please
JDaviesB (20:36:47): of course
cbone137 (20:40:30): um i need to go for a little bit to explain everything to my dad to see if i can borrow his paypal account, can i catch up to ya later or no?
JDaviesB (20:41:05): I'll probably be here for about another hour, is that long enough for you to check?
cbone137 (20:41:2: i think it might be, he wants to check and make sure everythings safe and not a scam
JDaviesB (20:41:39): I understand
JDaviesB (20:42:0: Remember that PayPal have measures in place to prevent people from scamming you, and once I have sent the funds I have no way of recalling them.
JDaviesB (20:42:24): If you wish, I can answer your father's questions.
cbone137 (20:42:54): i was actually going to show him this one forum on markeedragon that explains how to request money on paypal and stuff
JDaviesB (20:43:11): Whatever way you prefer
cbone137 (20:50:4: mind if i ask for you paypal email adress
JDaviesB (20:53:01): Yes, sorry, I wasn't at my keyboard.
JDaviesB (20:53:06): One minute please.
cbone137 (20:55:06): ok
JDaviesB (21:04:35): [email protected] is the address we are currently using, due to some server issues on our own servers
cbone137 (21:05:56): sorry, but your making this too sketchy and also i need to leave my computer to go to work with my friend, sorry, and also thanks for your time.
JDaviesB (21:06:21): No problem. Sorry you feel that way about our service.
cbone137 (21:06:40): yeah good luck though, cya
JDaviesB (21:06:45): Bye

[Hasselhoff]

Aww nice, you almost had him >.<

[Persian]

I had a nice script to go with this scam before. It had everything you would need to say, if u follow it EXACTLY, you would have almost 100% success rate. i deleted it though, if you want to see it PM me.

[Persian]

Another idea....basically me and 2 of my rl friends scam together a bit... so we all just act as the same company and when we're scamming, if they ask for rep we refer them to each other...and we pretend to be happy customers. This has really helped me cause i got to scam some TWV people and people with heaps of +rep on MD.
