sell your account but keep the account and the cash!
Ok i got this idea from this thread;

I figured the op in that thread had a great scam but it needed some major tweaks to make it golden, aswell as he only shows the way to scam toonstorm, my way you can scam any company or even real people that wanna buy your account. Ok here is what i did...
I used a verified paypal with a new bank i opened just for the purpose of the paypal, although you can use your own REAL bank details on the paypal. I verified the paypal and made it so i could withdraw the funds to my bank account, and linked the account to it legitimatly. Then i contacted toonstorm(you can do this with any company that actually pays you though) and then just give them all the info they ask for, but make sure to cancell your subscription on the account.
When you recieve the payments in paypal and they have your account it all seems as if you did a legitimate sale, but ofcourse you didn't - what you did is make it so you can withdraw the funds into your bank, then when you have recieved the actual cash you can either;
OPTION 1 - Now you can close the REAL bank account you created for the purpose of scamming the company.
OPTION 2 - Leave your REAL bank account open.
Option 2 is what i did, it is the more risky option as it could leave a trail for the company to get back to you but the chances of this are so small i dont think it matters.
Here is the clever part, you then go back to your LEGITIMATE paypal with your real details on it and delete the bank link, delete all the info you possibly can on it, then CLOSE the account, this way the company cannot contact you or recall thier money, nor can they ask paypal for help becuase when you closed your account you hadnt done anything illegal - so paypals stance with them will be to tell them that, unfortunatly, they cannot retrieve the account for thier puropses or give any of the information as it would be a breach of your rights.
Then you just go to Blizzard and e-mail them telling them that you cancewlled your account because you couldnt afford to pay for wow for a brief period and when you tried to log back on to pay your details had been changed. Send them the original wow key,(if the company asks for this ofcourse tell them that you no longer have it), and also tell them what your original e-mail on the account was and your SQ/A. if they need more proof send in a scan of your drivers licence/passport.
Blizzard will recall the account for you within a few days - the company cannot do jack shit about you doing this because they no longer have a paypal to track you with, and you have already spent the money, or even closed the bank account you did this with.
I have now done this 2 times to toonstorm, and they are none the wiser...dont do it over and over to the same company or even on the same accoutn or blizzard/the company will get suspicious, change your char name or server if you wish to carry on doing this to the same company - so far i have gotten £200 from "selling" my account, although im sure you can get A LOT more if you sell on markee to somone as companys seem to pay less that 50%-60% than real people do.
If you do this on markee you will need ot remake accounts on there and it would help a lot if you did all of this with proxies, from making the paypal, talking online to the company/person all the way to closing your paypal.
The proxy i use is torpark and you can download it here;

Feedback is appreciated on this is i have spent a lot of time researching this scam - aswell as tying it up.
[[[EDIT]]]
If you want to be 100% sure they cannot recall even though they really cannot geta blizzard authenticator.

They cant cry to blizzard either cause they were breaking a ton of rules for selling/buying accounts, so blizzard isnt going to help them :P
I don't care much for getting the account back, but I would like this so I could prevent a chargeback incase the account is recalled by the OO, I'll try it out.
Im sorry not to troll or anything but this is fraud and if you use your real information you are completely traceable and even more so if you use your real IP although I admit your chances of being prosecuted are relatively small
yes this is fraud, but if you delete your info of your bank and stuff from the paypal before you delete it they CANNOT BY LAW keep that information. all it means is that paypal and they company have your real name and thats not really much to go on...although i appreciate your feedback
