Changing the name of the Account Holder

[Teryon]

Hello, I am new here and decided to post this trick which has worked for me.

1. Register a WoW account using a name which is obvious nonsense. Example: "Qwerty Asdfg"

2. Call the Blizzard Account & Billing Department. The CSR will change the name if it is obvious that it is not the real name of the account holder

I have benefited from this scam in two ways:

Botting safely. There is little risk that my main account is banned when the botting alt accounts have fake names. If the alt reaches lvl 80 safely, you can still transfer him to your main account after changing the account holder name in this way.

Selling accounts with premium price. Many people will pay a much higher price for the account if the buyer becomes the "Original Owner". You can call Blizzard and name the buyer as the owner of the account.

Nice idea, good for people who sell accounts.

I'll rep you if confirmed.

If you have 2 accounts and you bot/scam with one, Blizzard will NEVER ban the other. Penalities are account based, not IP/name based.
