Witty Scam Revisited

[thakillinator]

ok so most of us like to gold i think we can all agree but here we go here is an example of the old scam [put the item your selling on AH for well say 500g(its an epic) and then you get on an alt and spam wtb that item you put on AH for 1000g and so most noobs will rush to buy that item and sell it to you but all you have to say is naw i changed my mind. and there you go 500g ----unbannable btw



now for the more dangerous version thats risky. the idea is basically using the spectral tiger mount scam and it just gets you a little more gold but i suppose ill tell you how to do it for convenience [have a friend or alt spam wts spectral tiger 1000g and then you spam wtb spectral tiger mount 1500g and of course people will most likely try to buy from your alt or your friend and thats the part where you scam them and if they agree you are a 1000g richer---bannable


so the pros and cons of this scam (the one with the spectral tiger)

pro-its easily repeatable

pro-you dont lose nothing as in your not losing any items

con-its bannable

So you took a perfectly unbanable scam, and made it banable using the spectral tiger code?

People will most likely buy an item rather than buy something they don't know about if two guys are shouting out that they need it. Not too many people on the servers willing to risk 1k or more buying something they know has been used for scams.

a good idea, but i think other scams would work better.

[Gummibär]

Not really a great idea. I mean how many times do you see...

WTS SPECTRAL TIGER 1000G
30 seconds later
WTB SPECTRAL TIGER 1500G

This will definitely put your account at risk. As well as your friends!

Indeed. Anyone who falls for this scam deserves to be scammed.
