Reputation: 6 | | [BUY TIME] Cant get the job done fast enough? Look here! Ok, so, I just started scamming and I ran into a problem. I couldn't do it fast enough! I logged into this acc, with huge pile of gold and was like !!! But then, bam, " You have been disconnected from the server"
This got me thinking, how to buy some more time with the account. So, I did some research and Scrawl told me one good tip. Idle @ the charr screen to see if the player was playing. If he was, he just think he lagged out and will log back. Ok, you saw he had 5 lvl 80 and all epix gear, and you think theres jackpot waiting but one problem. You dont have all the info to chance email and such to make it recall proof. Then it hit me. Why not to email them second time, after telling them in your first mail their account is being sold. I thought I'd email them something like this: --->Now go and make toon with your other acc to send the gold quickly, after finding out which server your next target is. Quote:

But if the owner is a smart guy he will know that if its under investigation it will say "Your account has been temporary banned untill: 22 June" (this is just an example)
atleast thats what I got I will post my template that maybe should be better here: Code: Greetings,
We are writing to inform you that, unfortunately, we have had to place a warning on your World of Warcraft account and temporarily suspend it:
Account Name: ACCOUNT_NAME
Type of Violation: Use of Prohibited Third Party software
Consequences for Account: Account Suspension for 3 days (72 hours), Password Reset and warning placed on the account
It is with regret that we take this type of action, but it is in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community as a whole, and for the integrity of the game. After your suspension has expired, you will be able to access the World of Warcraft servers again.
Please note that should any further violations of our Rules and Policies occur, this incident will be taken into consideration when determining the consequences to your account. This could include further warnings, account suspension or account termination. Should your account be found to be used in conjunction with third party software on another occasion, the account will be permanently closed.
Should you believe someone other than yourself has committed a violation while using this account, the sanction would still apply, as our action is taken against the account, not the individual.
When running World of Warcraft, please close any non authorised programs that run in at the same time that may interfere with the game. For more information regarding account security, please visit the following forum post:
http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=35983697&sid=1
As a precautionary measure you are also not able to login in to the Account Manager system in these 3 days.
We strongly suggest you review our current Rules and Policies to avoid further action in the future, they can be found at:

Account Administration Team

Reputation: 6 | | I think that is unneccesary. Because, I think they WANT TO BELIEVE that they can play.  I mean, I think they dont want it be banned, and they can play relatively normally. And no, people are not that smart if they fall for simple phisher scam of you ask me.

Log onto your account and check if he is online
(Suggest only doing this when you know on what realm he plays, else you got a very long time searching all realms :P)
But so far i only picked 1 realm so it is easy for me |
