"SneakySwitch" Scam

Before you put up your post on markee, for selling the account, you make a new wow account and set the transfer to the new account, make sure its a new realm and you put a level one with the same name on it. Then you wait until you get the email to verify the transfer.

Then on Markee you post for your account and make it sound legit, because technically it is. Make sure you go through all of the regular safety procedure so that you don't get scammed, and be legit! Then when you get your money, secure it using one of our lovely guides here. However do not secure the money before you verify the transfer, you will have to do both very quickly or you will fail.

The scam, is to then click the verify transfer link in the email, to the new account for the character as soon as you get the money. This would make it so that you sell him the account and he still sees the character and thinks its there, but you actually end up with a new account with the character, and the money.
You would need to do the scam before he gets the chance to log on your character!

The guy you scammed will have no idea wtf happened and you get profit.

Problems:
1. If he tries to log into the character it screws up the transfer and your scam fails.
2. If for some reason he goes onto character transfers(account management) you are screwed as well.
3. He may talk to a gm and say that his character disappeared and that he would like to restore it.(This can be good or bad because you could get the money and the character or you can lose the character and get the money.)
4. Since info was changed the link to verify the transfer could become invalid, and your scam fails and you are forced to recall the old way.



credit to redicule for retyping this up for me, my idea, his explanation since I guess I'm retarded

Let me summarize: (Please copy this or fix your grammar for the original post.)

Before you put up your post on markee, for selling the account, you make a new wow account and set the transfer to the new account, make sure its a new realm and you put a level one with the same name on it. Then you wait until you get the email to verify the transfer.

The scam, is to then click the verify transfer link in the email, to the new account for the character as soon as you get the money. This would make it so that you sell him the account and he still sees the character and thinks its there, but you actually end up with a new account with the character, and the money.
You would need to do the scam before he gets the chance to log on your character!

The guy you scammed will have no idea wtf happened and you get profit.

1. If he tries to log into the character it screws up the transfer and your scam fails.
2. If for some reason he goes onto character transfers(account management) you are screwed as well.
3. He may talk to a gm and say that his character disappeared and that he would like to restore it.(This can be good or bad because you could get the money and the character or you can lose the character and get the money.)
4. Since info was changed the link to verify the transfer could become invalid, and your scam fails and you are forced to recall the old way.

Well thats the summary, you might wanna copy and paste that but give me damn credit and heres for an actually good idea.

Yea, the only problem would be if they logged in during the transfer, which would **** up the whole thing.

Risky, but very intuitive...If you're willing to take the risk it could pay off, but why risk it when there's so many other scams that don't require you to risk anything?

+rep for the idea
