This scam enhances the scam posted above, by focusing on one target.
The basis of this scam is that you build conversation (make friends) with someone willing to trade their account, then send them an e-mail stated in the guide above, and since you are interrested in the account they would contact you saying "Blizzard sent me an e-mail, but i think its a scam". All you have to do is say "Nah that happened to me before, just fill out the information and you'll be okay"
Okay, here we go.
Step 1 : Read the guide posted above
Step 2 : Go to any websites that sell/trade accounts.
Step 3 : Contact your target, make friends with him. Say you are interrested in the account but you need a couple days to get the funds.
Step 4 : In the couple days you just talk to him normally. If you say 3 days before you "buy" the account, talk to him normally for a day and a half and then send him the scam e-mail.
Step 5 : If your social skills were good enough, he would tell you that he recieved the e-mail and will ask you for advice. You just need to reassure him by saying "Oh, that happened to me when I sold my old account. Just fill in the information and it would be fine"
Step 6 : Recieve your e-mail with all the information and voila, you have a free account.

TBH, I dont think this makes the Email scam any better since it only takes longer and it will get complicated getting the victem 2 believe you ( the money thing ) I'm gna keep using the email scam
email scams are epic fails the only scam that actually works is talking to the person on AIM and getting them to give account sqa and change the email first. Or by getting them to give you their account name, the full name registered to the account, and the sqa then calling blizz and recalling the account
This works. Trust me, give it a try. Even if it fails you can just do your normal acc scam.
Also, here is a fixed version with correct grammar for the e-mail

too much hassle :O and nothing really new. the problem about all this email scam is that you have to reply to some totally gay e-mail adress ^_^ that's why almost noone falls for this
This scam does actually work. I have had it work for me, tho there is a downside once you have scammed the account. If the characters were mainly used for PVPing and have all the gladiator or Arena gear, you are SOL if you are looking for gold. None of it can be sold to a vendor....the account I scammed wasn't even worth 300G!!! >8(
