WoW ScamsWorld of Warcraft Whitehat Scamming Methods ONLY.
[NO QUESTIONS HERE] We do not condone scamming, this section is meant for people to read about scamming so they can prevent being scammed themselves.
Here are the websites you will need to visit to setup and start scamming.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Before you do anything, I would suggest taking a look at this guide on setting up a proxy in Firefox. You need to do this before you make any accounts.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Here you will setup a new e-mail address, make it something that you will remember. (I suggest writing it down.)
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Use your new e-mail address here, make a paypal account (Australian of course). I think that you should use Premier, but correct me if otherwise.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I do not condone scamming on here (markeedragon), as it is risky, but I don't scam at all anymore. Use a site like this, such as another buying/selling site, or just use this one. Here you will need to register an account, I suggest writing it down.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Here you will register a new AOL Instant Messenger account. Again, I suggest you write this down with all your other accounts to keep track of them.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Here you will find a guide on how to setup a phisher I suggest you set one up.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Here you will make an account and use it to buy items fast.

Download this tool, so you can check your accounts later.
Preparation (H)
Here you will learn how to prepare and get your operation going. Chugga Chugga Choo Choo.
First, log onto AIM, just keep this up in the background. Make sure you have a tab open for paypal to be ready all of the time. Once your phisher is setup, check out a guide on how to get e-mails, here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
where you can get Atomic E-mail Hunter and gather e-mails. You will then need to know how to get e-mails so go check out Part B of this guide (scroll down a bit):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Once you have gathered the e-mails, go here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
to find a convincing template, and then use
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
or another fake mailer to spread your site. Now you will need to head on over to the WoW Armory, and pick out a nice 80 Rogue, or Mage, or whatever. Make a post on markeedragon advertising this character, say that it is great for farming, and has all the mounts/professions, etc. Make sure to post your AIM, in bold letters. Now, I suggest you check the In-Game section while you wait for people to contact you and people to fall for your phisher.
In-Game
Here you will learn what scams to use in-game to earn some quick gold.
I suggest you use the Casino Scam, because I think you cannot get banned for it, and it is just down right fun. That won't make you the big bucks though. You should use the spectral tiger scam, and find a good convincing picture to prove that you have it, such as one here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
It's all about social engineering. Use your best grammar and spelling. A few excuses I use are:
I am working for a small company part-time, and I am selling codes. (That is why I am on a level 1)
I am too young to use e-bay, and just want some quick gold. (I don't play on this server, that it why I am on a level 1)
I got a card as a present, and I don't even like the mount, so I am trying to get some gold. (WTF am I on a level 1?)
Once you use these excuses, you will need to tell everyone a price. Usually 5,000 works, but sometimes people are cheap. If you can get 3,000 - 4,000 take it. Almost always people will ask for half now half later, I suggest you say this before they ask. It makes you seem more trustworthy. Try not to get suckered into Booty Bay, it just gives you more time to launder. Once you make the deal, you will need to launder the money.
To launder it, you will need a few alts. Make sure they are by a mailbox.
Scammer Level 1 ---> Alt 1 (Delete Scammer Level 1 once you send, THEN get on Alt 1) --> Alt 2 (Delete Alt 1 before getting on Alt 2, send some of the gold from Alt 1 to your main, and most to Alt 2) --> Main (Delete Alt 2 before sending it, say it is a birthday present, etc.)
I personally have never been frozen for this method. But it is risky. Do this while you wait for someone to contact you out of game.
Scamming
While your phisher is getting accounts, which you obviously know what to do with, you can just take the gold, or change the info and try to sell the account, etc. You might be getting some people talking to you on AIM. The signs for a Chinese Account Scammer are this usually:
u sell acc?
and an offering price of $250.
Tell the person that you will accept and have the info ready. Here you will want to stall and get a site up where you can buy things, as I suggested earlier, use
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
While you are stalling the China Man, with false info, or BRB RESTRUM!!1! you will use his money on this site.
Wait, [Royal], it's a slow day, what should I do while I am just sitting here?
You can go to
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
and watch some TV or something or you could try two scams to take up some time. They are the Pose As A Company Scam and the Scam A Powerleveling Site Scams which can be found here:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
and
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Note: On the powerleveling scam, I suggest that you get the e-mail, then use the order ID and email to get the account info. Or just follow that scam. Both have sort of low success rates now, but it is something to do. I suggest that you do this every Friday, and in a few weeks you will be riding on the train, picking up accounts along the way. Congratz.

On the in-game scam section, I assume the alts. would be on multiple accounts, as otherwise Blizzard would just follow it... right?
Oh, and
Thanks, you don't need to do different accounts, I just did the same and never got banned, I did it around 15 times. I got banned once but for the casino, but that ban was lifted I think.

Good guide, the spectral tiger scam works -- Obviously I've been doing it since 70, now people are catching on, still waiting to see if I catch a ban, I don't think I will anytime soon tbh -- But if i do, i'll never lose sleep, you've did a great guide --
