Reputation: 5 | |  [Idea] Keep an account for a farely long time. Or forever.
I am not responsible for the out-comes of this techinique, this is only an Idea I thought of. But has been proven to work by others.
Ok. If this has been posted before or if there is any relevance to this I am sorry, didn't look far enough it seems.
This is a scam that revolves around Blizzards new Account Recovery system which now automatically asks for ID. It technically isn't a scam.
This is how it works;
Well, first off I would like to add that this can be successful in many ways, it either works or it dosen't move on. Just an idea.
You got yourself a 70, By any means neccisary. Using the Kaizou method is my favourite. You don't need full info just access to the Email and User and Password.
Get yourself a thread up on MD saying your trading the account. Or look for one.
Once you have a happy trader, trade your account using the normal way, I am sure that you guys know the drill. Make sure he is legit! Cannot state this enough or you will loose your 1st account. Game over! Give him full info of the account but make this up. Just make sure you can trust the other guy to change the Email.
Now, the Orginal owner of the account that you scammed is probably already onto you and is attempting an account recovery. This is the fun part. It seems that Blizzard have a long que for Account recov's. 10 Days waiting time Avg.
Get yourself as far down as the trade-line as possible.
This is what I mean by that;
It all pans out in a train like conflict where there are several accounts all up in the air.
You have the account traded. Now get down the trading line. Delete your account on MD or just post again saying reason for trade; " Do not like the class ect. " Be creative. Post stating that you want to trade the account you just traded. You are practically the Original owner if you have full info.
Once again, another happy trader. Trade accounts. Get far down the line trade amongst 5-6 times is a safe line. Due to the long times of Account Retrival you can post on the MD forums saying, bored of the character. Just make sure you trade again on the day you scam so all these 10 days pan out.
Now, you will have your self an account for what, 5x10: 50 Days.
But this is what I find interesting with this method. Most likely account traders are not the Orginal Owner, this is like 60% of the time. And due to Blizzards new method of ID demand they cannot recover. And no, even if the Original owner sent them the ID, Blizzard may ask for ID of the first card on the account. So, if one of the people cannot recover in the train. Then BAM, it will have a knock on effect. Were the person after the person who could not recover will be happy. Here is a diagram:
Your account ( Un-Recovered) - 1st Victim. ( Recovered ) - 2nd Victim. ( Recovered ) - 3rd Victim. ( Not the Orginal Owner, ONOES! Un-recovered) - 4th Victim ( Happy, Un-Recovered ) - 5th Victim ( Happy, Un-recovered) - You. (Very happy, Unrecovered)
You could even take this a step further, if you were the orginal owner of your first account, Recover it! Then you will have yours, and the victims account. Or you could even start the chain again. The posibiltys are endless. And I like this method because it's not really a scam. You make out you wasn't the Original Owner, Maybe he recovered if they ask on Msn.
Working as of Today. Thanks for reading, if they are any flaws state them. As this has worked for me. Sorry yeah, havn't really given much to the site so enjoy this.
Hows that for a slice of fried gold?

U need to use MM all the way, I think that is the only option... and if u do u need to pay for each transfer... or just use a free high rep one... |

| Um, yeah. I kinda say to get a legit trader. You are incorrect in saying you will be scammed, read everything before you reply please. Honestly I have tried this before. I did not get scammed or even close down the line. But you can always use a MM just to be secure. |

Reputation: 5 | | | I know your not supposed to Bump. But I am going to because I have posted a guide with almost 100 views. And have 4 replys, all being non-helpful. I would like to earn a little more rep than I have done. I am sick of being a Leecher and when I contribute I get nothing. Sucks tbh. |
