Reputation: 5 Level up: 46%, 274 Points needed |   | | | [Need Help] Scamming a character/account
Hello Ive been talking to a noob recently, and he said lvling is sooo boring and asked if I wanna lvl some for him.
So of course I told him yes and he gave me his password and account name...
What am I going to do now? If I change the password he will probably use the secret question and answer to reset it... Is there any way to secure the account to me without him getting any access at all or do I need more account information? I've got:
Email
Account name
Password
Full Name
Full name of his mother (But it seems like the account is set on him, not the mother)
Phone number
Please help  This is my first scam

The email address is easy, hell I just though of a really good idea.
Tell him while you were playing a GM whispered you. The gm said he noticed a IP change recently and was suspicious due to the influx of gold sellers. He asked you to confirm some information, and if you couldn't confirm it within a few days, or even now, then he would lock the account. |

So he told me to try to get it back. I changed the accounts email to mine and asked him to confirm it on his email, so I can "talk" to blizzard and make em reset the password.
After that I will have all his account information and the email set to ME. And he also mentoied to not talk to a GM because then we both get in trouble, so the odds for him opening a ticket to get his characters back and everything restored is pretty small.
Im just wondering, if I logg into his account now, and ask a GM for getting his main back, will I then get in trouble, will they check IP address, ask me for why I deleted it or will they just restore it without any shushing and shashing?

If you transferred the character you should be fine as for you friend I don't know, They'll probably tell him that it's not their fault that he lost his characters.
What Level was his main? |

How to help your friend get his character back without you getting in trouble?
Answer: Simply transfer it over - you won't get in trouble -
Or
How to prevent from having the account being taken away?
Answer: Simply tell him you quitting and move on with his account, he'll give up as you gave up, I think xD
Wait,
Do you want your friend sort of like get the account back and have Blizzard replace the character you have transfered?
Answer: They won't do it. ^_^
IDK if i'm right |

Don't push it. You are getting greedy. Don't open a ticket for a GM. |

simply post a ticket, I did it with my friends account claiming I was him and my parents/guardians required that i delete the characters due to school problems and now they've finally allowed me back on and will continue to subscribe.
Assure them it wont happen again.
