Reputation: 28 Level up: 45%, 276 Points needed |   | | The Battle.net Account scam I searched the Scam section and found nothing with this twist on it.
What this Scam gives you: A New 80 or a couple hundred bucks
How it Works: Step by Step
Step 1. Make an account with markee dragon and paypal. Lately however Aussie paypal does no longer let unverified people buy and sell, So i reccomend dishing out a few bucks for a VCC (virtual credit card) that will let you buy and sell freely.
Step 2. Head over to markee dragon and look for the inevitable person looking to rent their 80 out.
Step 3. Once you find that person say your with *such and Such Company* and are willing to offer them like 8 bucks a day or whatever for their account (doesnt really matter just get them to agree)
Step 4. Now that you have their username and password go ahead and head over to battle.net and merge b-net account with theirs...Also merge a blank account or a noob account to it.
Step 5. Quickly Transfer the main character over to the noob account.
Step 6. Once you have done this jump on an alt on their character and start powerhacking, scamming, advertising gold sites, yelling racist comments... the key here is to get the account PERMANATELY BANNED!
Step 7. Once youve tested every hack you know of and had your fun quickly head over to a fast account buying and selling company (legit one, unless you know someone extremely legit at MD)
Step 8. I reccomend buying and selling what you are going to relatively fast (not in a rush but fast enough) I reccomend buying gametime cards then reselling them on a diff paypal so the money is yours.
Step 9. Win, you can also keep the 80 on your account to have it as your own, however if you do be wise because It IS possible for blizzard to unban the account and take the char back, banning your character (hence use a noob account)
I havent quite seen any scam guide with these twists, and if you have please link me it and I will gladly delete this post.
PS: while this may seem like common sense to contributors or people who have been scamming a while, It may or may not help the new scammer get off his feet and start raking in some dough
*only works for US

Reputation: 1 | | | Did they fix this? I just merged an accoutn to a bnet account and tried to xfer a rogue from one account to another, it says i can not do it for a month. Does merging an account now activate cooldown? "This character cannot transfer to other Battle.net accounts until a 30-day waiting period has elapsed. You will be eligible to make this transfer on 05/05/2009" |  | |
