WoW ScamsWorld of Warcraft Whitehat Scamming Methods ONLY.
[NO QUESTIONS HERE] We do not condone scamming, this section is meant for people to read about scamming so they can prevent being scammed themselves.
@idusy - you joined 2009, you have no room to talk nor experience to speak from. the others are correct this sections original intent was to inform people of scams, not how to produce scams and social engineer idiots.
I was here in 2006.
True, it didn't used to be as bad, but it was always about how to scam people.
at least spoof header better?

learn to spoof headers retards at least your smart enough to use 93.182.150.68 ip which is ipred in sweeden anonymous ip but I bet that email is real haha
And to the issue of "oldscul" mmowned members:
I was on this site leeching from 2007 (made another acc with a good name coz wanted to contribute, and it almost never had a thread (in Scams section) how to protect yourself from getting scammed or stuff like that.
I learned about the TCG scam, MD scam and backspace scam in 2007.
Why do you do this? Is it ok if when my link is up there and I don't wanna be in there cause of I don't hack mmowned members that you take it out when I'm asking it nicely? (not that its in there anywayz lol)
I got a ingame message like this:
Hi, Blizzard is about to launch a new mounts, Free trail, For more information, please log in on : http:// www. blizzeu-battle. net
This is a scam of course, don't login or even enter the site!
