Legendary [Guide] EASIEST Gold you've ever scammed! With pictures and help!

*CONTINUED ON FROM MY OTHER THREAD*
So lately I have been trying out different scams on people, and by far my 2 favourite scams would have to be the DnD Scam and the TCG Item Selling scam. The thing is though, a lot of people are starting to catch on with the TCG scam. You post in trade and you get flamed with "SCAM". But, of course, you still get people asking how much, I will buy, and zomg yes.

After searching and reading SOME threads I feel that I can now tell you all my recently discovered scam. Selling Accounts.


THE SCAM

When "selling accounts" there are 2 different routes you can take. PLEASE make sure you don't stick to one route. Change it depending on the victim. They tend to ask questions that pick the route for me. I will mention this later.

a. Representative from a Business
b. Selling account because you got into Med School and your GF REALLY needs the gold for her toon

People tend to respond better to the business method, but both work.

It is essentially the same thing as the TCG scam, but since you aren't linking any items you can actually fill most of your bars with macros selling different classes for different amounts of gold. I use the following the most:

/2 SELLING CHEAP MAGE
/2 UD LVL 70 HAS ONLY PVP GEAR
/2 S1 = 500G
/2 SELLING CHEAP ROGUE
/2 UD LVL 70 HAS ONLY PVP GEAR
/2 S1 = 600G

I specifically mention S1 as a low price, because it gives you a chance to offer better gear for more money. People also like hunters and druids. Try each class and see which gets you more hits than the others.

When they hand you the gold you can either link them a username and password into whisper or party chat or you can trade them a "Simple Letter"* with some details on it.

Make sure that the password has a mixture of: Ll, Ii, Oo, 0. These can be confusing in WoW font to distinguish.

TIPS

If you are taking the business route:
  • If they say "Is this a scam" "How do I know your not scamming me" I tend to say "As a business, it is not in our best interests to rip off clients."
  • If they want it for cheaper, ask them to wait while you get authority
  • Tell them you will wait while they check the account, when they say it doesn't work, say one minute while I check - continue to scam.
  • Always act professional: NO SPELLING MISTAKES.
  • At every possible opportunity, remind them you work for a business.
  • They rarely check the website, but if they ask I always say "vcmmo.com"
  • IF they check the site and say "It's not there" say "Technically, I work as a freelancer. I sell the characters in game to potential clients. It's because we are in game that I can do these better prices."
  • 80% of people ask why you would sell accounts for gold. Something along the lines of "Having done extensive research, we have found that it is better, from a fiscal perspective, to buy accounts and sell the gold to other clients." should work.
  • Using words like: we and us reinforce the fact that you are not a private seller - this is a good thing

If you are taking the med school route:
  • They are going to ask why you are selling for in game gold, say "My GF needs it and I am quitting." This is one of the picking the route itself questions.
  • It is ok to make spelling mistakes if you choose this route.
  • DO NOT ACT PROFESSIONAL OR HIGH AND MIGHTY
  • Be polite, joke around with them.
  • IF they ask about being scammed say "That's why I am selling this toon so cheap. I got scammed and now it isn't worth playing. That and med school."

General:
  • Always say that it is a security risk to link armouries/names/server
  • I use the DnD scam to get myself an account and then use that to scam. Alternatively you can make an alt on your account(to scam), delete it, open up a trial account and make the same named toon on that account.
  • Always trade the gold from scamming mule to main. It can't be traced.
  • A good idea is to do your scamming in TB or Darn. Face your main and your scamming mule away from each other and when the scam is done open trade with your main. That way if the victim has your mule selected, they won't see it select your main. It is a little thing, but every security issue should be addressed.
  • *Simple Letter has to be "From 'Scamming Mule'", so send one from the mule to your main. Trade it back and use that as the Simple Letter.
  • They are going to ask you why it is so cheap. Simply say "It sells."
  • If they ask why you are on a level 1 account say "It's easier than leveling up another account, just to reassure prospective buyers. You are either going to buy or not." But not quite as blunt as that. :P
  • If they want the account before they give you the gold, off them a swap. ie: you give them the username and password for 60-80% and then after that you get the rest of the gold for the rest of the information. These kinds of people are harder to scam, so be happy that you can get the smaller percentage out of them. It's better than nothing, because you didn't want to give up the 1k gold trade off.
  • Most important tip of all: DON'T BE GREEDY!

Proof!

Good luck guys and gals. Remember, if they don't fall for it straight away ignore them and move on!
If you need any help, please feel free to post here or send me an IM.

lol more ppl flame you when you try to sell accounts on WoW then you do when you try to sell tcg cards and lets not forget about getting banned for it. The truth is nobody is going to believe that you are selling a s1 mage for 500 gold. It would go for more like 100k gold and nobody has that much so it is basically pointless to risk getting banned for

Ugh.. I removed my old thread to remove idiot people such as yourself from ruining people's opinions of this scam.

Let me explain it to you ben. As you obviously suffer from a mental capacity, that is stopping you from understanding the very basic nature of this scam.
  1. You use a scammed account to scam people
  2. There are idiots, such as yourself, on WoW
  3. These are the people you target
  4. It DOES work, as I have the gold to prove it, I think I would know
  5. As it is a scammed account you are scamming on, who cares if it gets banned?
Thankyou for your time ben

Wait, so you get a scammed account, and go to SW or something and spam that you sell that account? Or do you go "I have an account for sale but i dont wanna log into it so it doesnt get banned" If so would using the trial accounts work?
