Reputation: 1 | | Genius Scam Method to make thousands easily. Hi, I have come up with a way to scam these chinese and nigerian scammers, but need some help. (Can also be used to scam chinese WOW gold sellers.)
My situation:
I was trying to sell something (macbook) on craigslist and got an email from an obvious scammer who said himself he'll send the money to me first ($2,500 usd). Then I send it to his address. Now what I am thinking of doing is the following:
-Create new paypal on proxy
-add virtual bank account and make it verified (not sure to use canadian address or US address when signing up.)
Once he sends me the money I withdrawl it to my legit bank account right away (im not sure if this is a good idea as I fear paypal will auto-withdrawl the money back once he does a reversal transaction and my account is in the negative)
This way when he reverses I will already have the money and he won't be able to do anything.. (i've heard of laundering the money through a poker website - Can anyone please teach me how?).
Can anyone please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it... thanks. | Donate to remove ads, get your "DONATOR title, and get access to the MMOwned community's elite Shoutbawx.

You won't get the full amount of money (2500 in your case) but it still would be a good profit
Lets say 2500$ worth of gold, you can resell it to mmofly for like 1/3rd of the price you bought it for. about 833$ profit that way |
