I know there are some gold site scams out there, but those don't work at all because chinese companies are very greedy and they know they can take your money so why not give em a taste of their own medicine? I'll show you how.
Requirements:
Paypal account (Verified recommended, if unverified it needs to have a credit card at least)
$216.11 (average price for 5000g)
Steps:
Go to a gold site, I went to swagvault.com.
Select your realm and faction and buy 5,000g
Once you receive the gold then awsome.
Wait two days and then begin to chat online.
Tell the representative that you have not received your gold.
give them your order number to speed things up.
They will tell you that they sent it and say that have "A record"
Tell them off and say that you are going to report them.
Exit the chat and just wait a week
Sign on to paypal.
click on resolution center, then click on report a problem.
Check Item Dispute and click continue.
Select the transaction ID from the payment you made to swagvault or whichever company you bought from
Check "I have not received anything from the seller."
Then click continue, select "Other Tangible Goods"
In the response say something relevant to this "I have paid you a week ago and I still haven't received anything, I have spoken to your customer service representatives and they claim to have a "record" showing that you have sent the product, but when I ask to see it they refuse, how can we solve this problem without cooperation it is just not fair that you take my money and not even respond."
after this a couple days will pass and they will NOT respond so you will respond again. something relevant to this "You still have not cooperated in at least communicating with me to solve this problem it's just not fair that you have my money and I have nothing, your customer service representatives refuse to talk to me and its outrageous!"
Okay let a couple days pass and they still wont respond by now they will send you a funny letter telling you to say that the problem has been solved. (Yeah right chinaman!)
on the 24th-25th day of the claim click "Escalate Claim"
*now here is when you should have patience*
a couple of days later you should get a email from paypal saying that your money has been refunded.
Check your paypal your money should be refunded and you should have your gold and yayy.
*Tips*
Don't go over 3 messages in paypal.
Don't exxagerate -_-
This is not illegal so don't say it is and if you are paranoid that it is then don't do it. You can't banned from this you wow account will not even be mentioned.

Nice, but theres no way i can pay that money initially. Anyhitng i could give someone else now in turn for this? (seeing as, although its free, it takes time and effort).
I used to do this, but SwagVault have recently started putting "Electronic Item" in the "item tracking" information bits - which means PayPal will not interfere since it's virtual goods.
I tried this a couple of weeks ago. But, it didnt work. I didnt mentioned anything about "Virtual Goods" but they said: "We cannot refund you you're money, because the product you ordered is a virtual item. So we cannot check if you received it or not."
what you have to realize is that swagvault (being an illegal company) does not comply with paypal at all. so by them not responding you have the upperhand and if it doesn't work (which i highly doubt) you can always dispute it with your credit card company or bank (plan B)
