Mechano-Hog Scam

Worked very well with a similar item: Haris Pilton's Gigantique Sack until it was hot-fixed.

Advertise in trade on a scammed account:
"Buying mechano-hog cheeve, 500g"

People will whisper you laughing, calling you a scammer, but occasionally you will get the few hopeful people trying to earn their money back from attempting to invest in one themselves.

If they ask you details about it simply state
"Once you trade it, just like once the engineer crafts it, I gain credit upon it entering my bags. Once that is done, I trade it back and the deal is over "

If they ask why its worth so much to you, your'e simply trying to get as many achievement points as possible, as you have cleared most content and finding yourself bored.

Currently working on this now. As the price for hogs averages 15k, you will have trouble finding sellers rather quickly, but the turn outs will be huge.

You MUST have gold to invest in this, but expect your investment to turn over ten-fold.

A level 80 toon is highly advised. The more experienced and already aged scammers will find this easier, as they have higher funds and numerous scammed accounts to work on.

Quick, easy, painless.

And again, for what its worth, give it a shot. Worst that can happen is you get laughed at.

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't even consider posting it.
As far as proof, I'm afraid I can't offer any, as the account I performed the scam on is obviously no longer is existence, simply the gold that is now banked on my main VIA guild bank exploiting.


As far as the trust issue goes, you have to consider the whole "scam" part.
Pick proper words, ensure them that no scam is possible as a GM will be able to retrieve the item for them, and you would get banned, so they have nothing to lose.

There are numerous ways you can go about it. The quickest, and the only one I had luck with was using a scammed 80 hunter, and getting some luck with seeing someone in trade offering to sell a hog for 15k.
Promptly scammed him using charm, sold the Hog in trade for 13k so it went quick, then banked the gold in a /gbank.


Again, use your heads.
Have some luck.
Enjoy.

I say its well worth the effort, as it took me a total of two days for my first account and hog to come.
Will post pics in the future, if I succeed again.

If you insist:

This still validates nothing, as perhaps I could be a lucky son of a bitch, or good with economics.

I would prefer feedback on the scam itself, whether the user feels it is good, and they are going to attempt to use it, or if the think it is a fad that will perhaps fade out incredibly quick.

Theoretically, this works very nicely. However not alot of people will trust you with a 15,000 gold item.
