[Free Tibet] How to get rid of chinese scammers/spamers! The ULTIMATE revenge guide!

[Razgul]

How to make Chinese people stop scamming?
Let me introduce you the ULTIMATE revenge guide:

Free Tibet

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A short justification first.

Since the very beginning of the game we are being annoyed by the Chinese spammers, whispering us and offering gold for sale. I understand that such a person makes money and living this way. It annoys me though, that their main source of gold is scamming. I would not try to bother sellers if they were not selling gold they scammed(mine, maybe yours?).
In real the seller and the scammer are the same person(or group of them). Thus they shall be punished.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background info

The Chinese government likes to censor some information. In China there are some issues that are a taboo. People don't talk about them and want to stay as far away from people who discuss those subjects. Why is that? Well, a person caught or suspected of talking about the forbidden may, be accused of spreading revolutionary ideas and therefore expect:

- at least an investigation,
- often a jail sentence,
- rarely a capital punishment.

And this is what we have to exploit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are the HOT topics in China?

This is just a basic short list:

- Human rights
- Tiananmen Square protests of 1989
- Invasion of Tibet

------------------------------------------------------------------------

So what we do?

In-game:

Whenever you are whispered by a 1 lvl character just spam him with revolutionary slogans like:

- Free Tibet!
- Tiananmen Square massacre!
- etc.


(I actually got the idea when I saw this on wowbash.org)

Email:

Often if you try to sell an account a few of Chinese scammers will message you. Just send them email containing info about the taboo topics. Remember to include a lot of forbidden keywords!

Phishing websites:

Like in game, instead of username and password, just input some revolutionary slogans!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anything else?

Yes! Popularize the idea. Mention it to your guildies, tell it in your pug raids, make people aware of the Free Tibet action. It will take just 20 seconds and you can have some real revenge on those scammers!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why it will work?

The internet in China is under constant supervision. Of course the government wont bother if they find one was trying to access a forbidden website once only. They rather catch big fishes. So what will happen if everyone of us (instead of swearing at the scammers/spammers) will just ctrl+c some info from wikipedia? I can promise you those people are gonna get spotted by the programs and the authorities will be aware that they have a loooooot of revolutionary stuff in their mailboxes...

I promise you the Chinese scammers will shit their pants off... and think 4 times before trying to scam anyone else.

this is so crazy that it may works o_O

Another great tip is to ask them about the EXACT amount of gold they have, and then want to buy 1g/10g/100g and so on, more than they have, usually ends with a ignore :P

Crazy idea, I'm gonna try this out next time they strike.

[Razgul]

the point is to make them suffer... i hate scammers so much... i just hope the idea is going to be popularized and people will widely do it.

Try to sell him your micro wave or vacuum cleaner, after a while they will leave you alone.

Hahaha this would actually work on a lot of the Chinese ones i reckon, pity half of the scammers aren't really Chinese =S

[Danne206]

I LOVE this idea, +3 for you sir if I can.
One of the best idea this month, haha!

[Zerve]

Vive la revolution!

[Subset]

I like this! I usually intercept the carriers but this will be even more fun!

[LemmyRock]

Would be really nice if someone made an addon that spams that shit if a lev 1 whispers you. Maybe this is our way to get rid of the sellers and hackers

[ashiao]

Free Tibet! WOW, what a good tip.
