Reputation: 444 Points: 13,414, Level: 14 | Level up: 86%, 186 Points needed |     | | [Scam] WOTLK Beta= IN GAME GOLD! Ok heres a little idea that I came up with that has worked VERY well over the last 2 days. Requirements-
- A WOTLK Beta ACCOUNT (not a key, but an active account)
- Common Sense
- A little Patience
- People Skills
- A Scammed LvL 70 (or any account but a lvl 70 builds a lot more trust- the better the gear, the better the scam will go) OK HERES WHAT TO DO- STEP 1: Talk casually in trade chat-- dont advertise that you are selling blatantly because this will get you reported.. just casually Mention something like this... "Man Im tired of playing my beta account- I wish I could get gold for it or something" This part has a bit of room for improvement but that has worked for me! STEP 2: Wait and say that, or something like it once in a while (not too often)
STEP 3: You will get whispers from a few people saying "I would buy it from you" or something along those lines. Act like you arent sure you wanna part with it- and be concerned that you dont wanna break any rules (this way they think your a dumb little kid not a scammer)
STEP 4: Agree on a large amount of in-game gold (I have sold them for 2k-7k depending on the server)
STEP 5: This step can go several ways... OPTION 1: If they DONT have the beta client tell them that you will give them the info for XX amount of gold but you have to go to dinner so you dont have time to wait... then just give them fake info and take the gold
OPTION 2: If they DO have the beta client installed- GIVE THEM YOUR BETA INFO for the gold... tell them to go change the password and you will accept the change-- ask for their email, then go to mmomailer and send them a fake email saying that the password and email address has been changed. Tell them to check thier email, get the gold and logout-- then go change your beta password to something they dont know THIS WAY THEY WILL HAVE ACCTUALLY LOGGED INTO THE BETA WITH YOUR ACCOUNT-- BUT THEY HAVE NO WAY OF STEALING YOUR BETA ACCESS FROM YOU BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THE PASSWORD ON BETA IS TO HAVE REGISTETED EMAIL ACCESS-- SO they think your legit because the beta login worked whereass trufully by the time they realize they were scammed-- the password would have already been changed- and they would have never has a suspicion that you are a scammer to begin with because you were just talking casually in trade chat about the beta lol CHANCES-
CHANCE OF THIS SCAM WORKING- 99.9%
CHANGE OF GETTING BANNED- 50% (transfer the gold off ASAP)
CHACE OF LOOSING YOUR BETA ACCOUNT- absolutely zero- NO CHANGE ENJOY!
