Wall of text 30 yards away.
I have not seen this method before but! If this is already posted I'll delete the thread somehow ((Link the original))
Required=
-Scammed level 65+
-Enchanter Friend
-Balls
Quick Overview:
Wall of text Aggroed.
You see someone on trade:
[2.Trade] [Nooblet]: WTB Mongoose! My mats!
Bingo! That's all you need, now judging by the name you already know where this is going, right? Well, if you don't I'll explain. So once you see someone looking for an expensive enchant that's when you and your scammed 65+ ((Needs to be scammed because you can and most likely WILL get banned, also 65+ because the required level of the high level enchanting is this, also more realistic.)) get into action. You quickly whisper the person telling them that you can do the enchant, now this is where you enchanting buddy comes into play. Ask your enchanting buddy for the link of the mats, so you can link it to the person. Once they acquire all the mats you're done! Screw him over, put the mats on the AH and then log out. Depending on how much the mats on your server cost you can make allot of money, try and target twinks they're very common and sometimes desperate. Why you need the balls? Well, I've seen allot of pussies that "feel bad," about doing this. All I can say is, grow some balls and get off these forums if you feel bad about scamming and hacking.

Quick reminder when you get the gold and try to transfer it to your main account do some times to cover up the fact that you're trading to yourself. Here's what I do.
1. Ask a friend with WoW to get on the scammed account, so the their IP is on the account.
2. Ask him to type in trade "Giving away "x" amount of gold! Just whisper me GIVEMEGOLDPLEASE!
3. This is for some reason lower suspicion on the gold trading I believe...
4. Trade the gold and have fun with it!

Credits go to me if this has been posted again, I'm sorry I didn't find anything like it.
You die
Feel free to flame I could careless if a Leecher flames me.
Wall of text prevents you from rezzing.
P.S. Nethercleft Leg armor is a big one sometimes say you're a leather worker and then BAM those mats can add up to 800g!
Wall of text spits on you.
Good luck and happy scamming.
Wall of text laughs at you.

pull up atlas, type in the search box "mongoose" or whatever enchant it is, and then shift click it once you see the spell *not the item itself*.
since most of guys don't have friends like me, you can just eliminate the friend part altogether with atlas!! |

It's really a double edged sword, not only is it almost 100% bullet proof, but it's also almost 100% going to get you a ban or suspension. Gold laundering is sort of a 50/50 thing, you never know what they can or cannot uncover. So even if someone is good enough to just pull level 65+ scams regularly or easily, they may not want to risk their main account. Though, most gold scams (first time offenses) just result in a 24 - 72 hour suspension. |
