Ok, this is the first, and original Salmon scam, named after me of course, because I figured it out. First of all, I want to this that I claim ALL of the credits for this scam. This is very simple, most likely easy for any noob to pull off. Second, do not do this on a guild that you have friends in, or else you will be scamming friends.

To start off, you need to be around the levels: 38 - 42; 58 - 62; 67 - 70.
The reason being, that you will be falsely begging for mount money. It is pretty simple, but ill tell you how to do it and not get caught. Here's my guide:

Around the levels I just said, join a guild with lots of high levels, preferably one with 70's that already have their flying mounts. Ask the high levels in the guild, via whisper, for money for whatever mount you are closer to. Ask very politely, and you are more likely to get the money. What you do is say something along the lines of, "Hey, sorry to bother you, but I want my mount when im ready for it, and im like 70g short (or 200 or 700, depending on what mount you are closer to) I was wondering if maybe you could help me? You dont have to give a lot, even none at all if you want, but every little bit helps. " Knowing most friendly guils, they will all try to contribute, except for those very few who use the old "Sorry man, id love to, but im broke " If you get that answer, don't try and persuade, just move to your next victim. This scam works a lot better if you are asking for epic mount / flying mount money, because people will feel more pressured to help, and you will be able to accumulate more money without the risk of getting caught.

A few Tips: Make sure that if he / she asks to meet you somewhere, that you are not riding the mount you begged money for to / from the meeting point. And, make sure before you ask them that they have never seen you riding that mount before.

Also, keep a list either on a notepad on your computer, or a piece of paper in front of your computer, keeping track of all the people you have scammed so as not to ask the same person twice, as this could compromise all the guild you made. In total, I must have made a good couple thousand gold from this scam in 3 nights, without getting reported once. If you are smart, and play your cards right, you could be doing better.

Thanks for reading, and happy scamming!

I think this has a better chance to work if you're alliance, more friendly people on that faction. At least that's how it is on my server cause the Hordies don't give beggars nuthin, unless you know them well. Anyway it's still a good idea, and don't listen to Kazard, thanks for contributing.

It's a pretty cool scam regardless.... though I would never do it on my main. All he was trying to do is contribute. Perhaps I can try it on my rogue....
