    How not to get Scammed

    How to fight Scammers? Buy Sell WOW account 101. MUST READ

    following are some tips for buyers and sellers of wow account and wow gold, especially when u deal with a person, not a website or company.

    1. Get each other's phone number before u make a deal. Negotiate on the phone, rather than in MSN or others. (if you cannot get it, and you are DESPERATE in selling your account ask general questions about his PayPal adress i.e. closest street, restaurant, store etc.)


    2. Get a copy of the account owner or seller's ID ( driver license or passport ), make sure the seller's ID is the same as the wow account's onwer's address and phone number.

    3. Get a copy of the buyer's ID if possible, and make sure that the buyer's name is the same as the name on the Paypal account, and Paypal account address must be verified.

    4. For buyer to protect yourself, u will need seller's ID and phone number. Regularly, scammer do not answer phone calls. And pay by a credit card, if anything wrong, u can call ur credit card comapny and file a dispute or chargeback. ( As this is a virtual transaction, do NOT sign any package send to u by the seller, just ask the postman to return the package if u got any.)

    U also must make sure the seller is the owner of the account. ( just log in the wow account and make sure the registration name and address is the same as seller's ID.)

    5. For sellers, u must make sure the payment from the buyer is valid and confirmed, not from a stolen Paypal account. U also need to call the buyer, and make sure his phone number area code is the same as his address in Paypal, so if anything wrong, u can call the local police.

    Send the buyer an invoice by Paypal and ask the buyer to pay. When the buyer's paid, u get his address and phone number in the Paypal payment receipt, and make sure the phone number and address are the same.

    U can mail a package or letter to the buyer through Paypal, and get a confirmation number or tracking number, so u can know the buyer's address is valid and current or not.

    6. Phone call is very important.

    If u have other ideas, pls post any tips u know below this post.

    TY
