Legendary [New] Robo's Hippogryph Game Scam [Updated!]

Hey all. Been a while since I last posted. If any of you can remember the survey / quiz scam (I didn't create it), I have decided to show my updated version.

1.0

- First you will want to start off by creating an e-mail separate from any game including WoW - it is your scamming e-mail.
- Next, proceed to logging onto your WoW Account. You will want to have a scamming one, although the highest ban you could get would be 72 hours, for spam.
- You'll want to create a Level 1 Human, seeing as they are the quickest to run to a major capital city (Stormwind). That's where good ol' trade channel comes into handy.
- (CRUCIAL: SOCIAL SKILLS)


- Now say, /2 "Bored and ready to play a game!! I am giving away a Hippogryph Hatchling TCG code, PST with info on how to play!


You should start to get some whispers. Be sure to act calm. Many people will say something like; 'wtf, how?' or 'wtf, scam.' This is where you need to pry their e-mail address from them.

Then you whisper back to them (those that are interested), I will need your e-mail address so that I can email you the game! It's pretty much a quiz. Once you complete it, I will randomly pick a number for you. In 10 minutes time of completing your quiz, I will call out which participant has the winning number!


Note: Usually they'll ask, 'how many people are in the quiz?' Say about 2 or 4, making them think they have a greater chance of winning.

Usually people might report you or flame you now - calling out that you're a scammer. If people call you out in TRADE, do not fight back, simply tell the e-mailed participants that you will come back on when the winner has been selected.

That's when you go to another server!


2.0


Now you need the 'quiz' of course.
E-mail Title: Game for my hippogryph code!

Now for the body:

I already have a hippogryph hatchling, and have managed to come across another one! Good luck to each participant! (Remember that the winner is randomly selected, but the quiz must be e-mailed back to this e-mail completed, otherwise I will not assign you a random number. Also, each question must be completed!)

Account name:
Server:

(Note: Don't fret! There's no way someone can hack you by knowing your account name! I only put this to filter out those who try to cheat and enter multiple times!!)

When did you start playing WoW?
How long have you been playing WoW?
Do you play any other MMO's?
Do you have a University degree?
What is 697248 divided by 3.14? baha joking you dont have to answer this one!
What High School do / did you attend?
What City do you live in?
What City were you born in?
What Country do you reside in?
What is your dad's middle name?
What is your mom's middle name + maiden name?
Do any family members / friends play WoW?
Do they play any other MMO's?
What is your favorite aspect of WoW's gameplay?
Are you addicted!! (Don't lie!)
How many WoW pets do you have?
Do you have any pets?
What were the names of them, if you have any?

Tell me a little about yourself: (hint: hmm maybe it isn't such a random quiz.. and that I'm trying to pick a winner that is interesting!) examples: what's your favorite tv show or movie, what's your favorite hobby or sport, have you ever been to Mexico? lmaoo sorry I'm trying to have as much fun with this game as I can!

Well, after you have finished all of these answers, e-mail it back to me! I'll announce the winner within 10 - 30 minutes. Runner up gets 100 gold!


-- Closing comments:

Do this on a weekend (Blizz phone support is unavailable). Launder the gold and everything. (Make sure it is sent to a new account, and then be sure to ban the account you scammed!)

As you can see, I made myself look like I was ecstatic to have the code, and that I was a big noob - just having fun. You have to act like a nice, chill guy.

I am willing to work with a partner and split profits. PM me if you wish to team up.

It's simple really.. change all the info?

Worked for me. Of course people call you out on it - but the people that REALLY want it, do it.

EDIT: how about adding something that like "Pick a number 1-(amount of participants):"

so they think they have an actual choice in the matter? idk

This has even smaller chance to succeed than classic spectral tiger scam.
Eventually people will see that the questions resemble his wow account info.

I can see it working, but to be honest, it seems to rely on very stupid people... Everyone who's ever signed up for some kind of email, site account or online site will be aware of the basic "secret questions" all sites use... Mother's maiden name, name of first pet, name of school...

Still well written, will try Thanks

The chance of them lying and putting in some other information is HIGH, I know I would just fake the info...

Anyways, good try
