Hello All! First let me say I'm sorry if this is a repost! (Hopefully its not!)

Scam Accounts With a EMU Server! If The Person is STUPID!
========================================
Sections:
I. Introduction II. Getting the Username & Pass III. Getting the Email IV. Tricking The Victim V. The Email Change! VI. Getting The Secret Question Answer VII. FINISH HIM!
======== I. Introduction ======== Alright, So what this scam mainly is, Well you find someone to join your "Private Server" Try to find someone who has NEVER done a private server Before! The scam will be much easier if you do. I recommend telling them its got TONS of custom Vendors and You can get instantly to 70 and such, Stuff to get them excited!
======== II. Getting the Username & Pass ========
Now, After you Got them ready to join, Say "Ok I Need Your Username and Password" they will most likely say something like "My real username and password" or "why?" Heres where you need to Somewhat gain their Trust, Think up something smart like "Well, My server connects through a blizzard protocol and it requires a username and password... Its only a one time deal..." I Usually say something they don't understand, but makes sence and sounds smart
======== III. Getting the Email ========
Now, I Think you should have thier info by now... If not, Find someone else... You'll get someone eventually! The next step of the scam is to ask them for their Email, say something like "Ok I Need the Email that your account runs on." if they say "why?" Or something, Respond with "Becuase, My server is highly populated and i send out updates every week.. And you need it to varify your account on my server." They will usually give you their email then.
======== IV. Tricking The Victim ========
After you've gotten their email, Simply say something like, "Ok, Your all set up now!" then when they say, Ok can we get online? Say "Yeah, but when you login you might get a email from blizzard saying that their is a Email change or something like that, Just accept it, it wont really change your email, But if you decline it then you wont be able to login."
Keep them interested, Tell them to change their realmlist to something random, So they wont connect to anything.. Keep telling them "Ok i think i almost got it fixed so you can connect" But really You'll be changing the email of the account! ======== V. The Email Change! ========
So tell your victim that your trying to fix and to give you a minute or something, Now Login to the victims account on Blizzards website, Go in and Change the Email, it will send your victim a email saying "Do you want to change your email to blalalalalala" Now after about 2 minutes after you try and change the email, Go back and talk to your victim say, "Well, the only thing i can think that the problem is would be that you never accepted the email from blizzard that i told you about"
Now your victim can take several ways, He can ditch out on you at this momment, Or he can say "Oh, i just got it.. You want me to change it right now?" just really try to get your victim to change the Email.
After you've gotten him to change the email, Go to Blizzard's site again, and Select "I Forgot my Password" it will make you enter their Username, Then it will ask you their secret question, some people chose "Mothers Maiden Name" thats one of the hardest ones... Some people have it set to "Where were you born?" THATS EASY!
======== VI. Getting The Secret Question Answer ======== So once you've gotten their secret question, Go back and talk to them, say something like "OH! I See why! Im so dumb!" They will be like "What?" then say "I Need Your" NOW Here is where you want to ask their secret question, If its What was your mothers maiden name? then say "I Need your Mothers maiden name... Dont ask me why, its just one of my server types of deals that requires you to connect through the protocol" Or something confusing like that...
======== VII. FINISH HIM! ======== Now you should have their secret question when they tell you! If they were really stupid, they would of fallen for this scam! Change the secret question and password of their account, and Walaa! You have a new account to get selling!
After you changed all your victims info and such, Block them on your IM or something, just ignore them... They cannont do anything now!!!!
========= KEEP IN MIND
=========
NEVER Discuss Account info ON Blizzard Chat, Blizzard can check the logs and Ban your and the victims account!
Keep your victim interested
You can do this alot easier if you have a Mic and can chat with the victim, BUT You also require WAY More social skills!
I Know, Its kind of a messy Thread, Sorry if its hard to understand, Was typing kind of fast :P
At first I thought this was going to be "LOLZ K U PRIVAT SURVUR AND MAK UP REALLY KEWL GEARZ, TAKE SS, THEN SAY U R SELLING IT ON MARKEE, AND THEY TINK UR RAEL BECAUSE U HAVE SS OF U ON PRIVAT SURVAR, DEN U WIN!!!!!11111eleven"
But then I read it.
This is really nice.
You would be very surprised how many people in WoW are naive on how private servers work, so I suggest going on a scammed account and talking about it (scammed because advertising your private server can get you suspended/banned) (depending on which warning you are on or w/e)
I like it, but there's so much to read, maaybe try change sections in different colours. maybe edit some pictures?
Not to be evil but i love to post this one:
To be honest with you, I don't know how (or rather where) he would add pics. Sure a different colors would help. But this is a social/talking scam, pics are generally only needed when setting up programs/doing a complex action (I hardly consider talking a complex action.)
