This is my first scam post. I got the idea from the method I use to annoy beggars in SW. It only works about 1 in 15 to 20 times, but when it does it can be profitable.

1.) Wait for someone to start begging for money in trade.

2.) People will typically respond with "go farm for cash" etc. Find the level 70's that are replying and whisper them, the conversation typically goes like this:

Whisper: <Me> God I hate beggars!
Whisper: <mymark> yeah, they should just farm like we did.
Whisper: <Me> I like to drop like 1000g in the trade window and then go AFK
Whisper: <Me> They just keep whispering OMG, TY, R U THERE? Its hilarious
Whisper: <mymark> omg, that is so funny, i will have to try that.

Do this to any 70s that where bitching in the channel that the beggar was on.

3.) Hop on a low level alt about 30 minutes later and find the people whom you whispered previously. (Hopefully they will still be in the same city).

4.) Whisper them asking for gold with terrible english "can U give me sum gold? i need to trane skillz"

5.) Almost all of them will remember what you said earlier about dropping gold in trade window and going AFK, some will open trade and pop in a few hundred gold and just leave the window open but unclicked. However, OCCASSIONALLY one of them will just instinctively click the trade button out of habit.
Click trade quickly and say "OMG, thank you so much!" and log out.

Like I said it only works every so often, but you can make a couple thousand gold in a week doing this. And I don't think they can really complain too much since it was their own stupidity that lost them the cash.

Good luck!

So this scam is based on human stupidity ?

Essentially, stupidity and habit. But what scams don't rely at least in some part on lack of forethought by the mark?

This one, unless he understands Blizzard policy and rules at the finest level. But it still doesn't matter, not all scams have to rely on an IQ of 6

When you made 4500 bucks with your scams, tell me.

this isnt a scam. your just as likely to be able to get ppl to c.o.d you things and have them put in the wrong price or accidentally have them send u the gold
