Improving the overused email scam. Tested.

Blargh, I was gonna post this amazingly detailed description, even copied it for safety, and then I get a network error when trying to post, so I tried pasting it and it didnt work Anyways, this is the less detailed, more aggressive description.

It has come to my attention all of you using the old email scam are utter morons (I actually said something less rude here, but anyways), almost no one buys it anymore. Therefore I'm improving it, the process of the scam is longer, but will most certainly net you more accounts.

Tis' be bullerproof mon, tested by myself, sent out 20 emails when I started to use this scam, emails responded to: 17/20
I AM NOT GIVING CREDIT TO ANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO POSTED AN EMAIL TEMPLATE AS ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE USING THE SAME ONE, JUST CHANGING LIKE ONE THING, SO I ACTUALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO POSTED IT FIRST, CREDIT GOES TO ME, AND ONLY ME.

Sorry for the caps lock frenzy, as I said, tis the more aggressive version.

Once you have gotten replies, there's lots of waiting to do unfortunatly.
You can the info you need to send in a webform regarding a comprimised account, you go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and fill it in, a tip though, when writing in an email, make sure you're in total control of that email, don't use the same email twice for different accounts.

I've been actually working on this for around 2 weeks, just before my other Account got banned. There's one warning though.

THIS CAN GET YOU CHARGED WITH FRAUD, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

You feelin' horny? THEN READ BELOW, TEMPLATE 4 U.

_______________________________________________________________


Greetings!

It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell or trade your personal World of Warcraft account.
As you may or may not be aware of, this directly violates the EULA and Terms of Agreement.
If this proves to be true, your account can and will be terminated. It will be ongoing for further investigation by Blizzard employee's.


If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment takes these sales
quite seriously. We need to confirm you are the original owner of the account.
This is done by confirming your personal information along with concealed information regarding your account.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email. [Insert a proper email that you're in control of]


Use the following template below to verfiy your account and information via email.

* First and Last Name
* Account E-mail
* Account Name
* Main Character Name and Realm
* Original CD Key,

________________________________________________________________

This template somewhat uses proper "Business English" and is extremly similar to the template Blizzard actually uses. Now, why no "zomg ask for pw etc etc qqqqq?", well, lots of people see right through it, obtaining the information written in the template can and will get you access to an account, + the email of the account changed to one of your choice.

I hope you guys like it, I know I do

That's nice and all but you don't know the realms, Character name, or last time logged in.

Crap, that's true, well, some people might fall for it anyways. I'll update, thanks for the heads up.

Also, last time logged in is not needed, you can just make up a random day, I did. I've unfortunatly only obtained one account, I'm-a guess the rest didnt pull through as I didnt fill in the realms etc, mostly cause my victim posted his armory.

You should be able to rep with your rep power though, anyways, they ask this information to be certain of you actually being the account owner.
Check the webform if you don't believe me

Re: Improving the overused email scam. Tested.

@crime144 the info you would get with this email, is enough to make blizzard give you the account. i would do it like this:
1. change the email to mine
2. get the SA or the password
3. change it
4. enjoy the account

@Keytachi
How would you plan to change the email address? When doing so sends a confirmation to the person's email, which they will not accept.

You can change the email through the webform, write in your own email and select YES on "Change the current account email to this email?" or something like that.
