Laundering gold with a friend

Scam gold and use it to buy enchanting mats etc.. Put the mats on AH for 1 g / stack and have a friend purchase them almost simultaneously.

Log in with another toon and started yelling at the friend: "WTF man, you stole my greater cosmics"... Use obscenities and try to sound like you are really pissed off. The idea is to give GMs the impression that a third party bought the mats, and the scammer lost all the gold. It's good to have a friend because then you have different IPs.

Your friend keeps the gold and can transfer it to you when the GMs are no longer investigating the scam.

I hope this helps!

The GMs will think that the scammer tried to transfer money thru AH with the sale of underpriced items, but did not login with his another toon fast enough so somebody else bought the materials cheap.

They let your friend keep the items, so this a very safe way to launder gold. The only risk is that your friend does not buy the mats fast enough.

Nope, I bought mats from the guy who sold spectral tiger loot cards on the server but the GMs didn't even contact me. That is how I got the idea.

so you did this once and didnt get banned, so that means it works!!


no. you can face to face trade it to yourself and say "this is scammed gold" and theres a good chance you still wont get banned. this method does not work and just because you werent banned once means less than jackshit.



reported the thread because its not a scamming method nor a guide

The GMs cannot ban people who just buy items from scammers on AH. If the scammer puts 1000 g worth of mats on AH for 1 g, ofc somebody will buy them.

The GMs have no way of knowing whether the buyer is an accomplice or not.
