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.
Here's a simple guide on a scam that is mainly a combination of two scams. Enjoy!
The two scams used are these: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
To clear things up I'm going to write a complete guide for ya! Enjoy!
1. Download the files here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
2. Upload them to a webhost and try and get a domain that isn't too suspicious. Hopefully our victim wont notice the domain, but it's better to be on the safe side.
3. See so the files are working, if everything is going well you should be able to "log in" on the site and then the account information should appear in the file "logs.html". Also, it's the most clever if you rename "logs.html" and change the information in "engine.php" and "engine2.php" so that they match the new name of your logfiles. What to replace is commented in the beginning of the php files.
4. Okay, we've gotten the phishing site, now we need an unsuspicious e-mail!
5. Go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and register with an e-mail. What you write in doesn't really matter because hopefully the victim wont see it, but of course it's best if you make something that sounds blizzlike.
6. Now click to send a new e-mail. In the "from" form you should have a drop-down menu. Click it and press "Add an e-mailadress". Then click the big button to add an adress. I recommend "[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]" or "[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]".
7. Go to your inbox. You should now have gotten a mail with the title "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)". Click it.
8. Scroll down and click the link that says "Please click on the link below to claim ownership and activate this e-mail address".
9. Success! You can now choose the e-mail you filled in, in this example "[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]"/"[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]" from the drop-down menu when you send an e-mail!
10. Gather some e-mails from people selling their accounts and start sending mails to them separately. Use your self-written adress ("[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]"/"[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]" in this example) to send the mail from. Here's an example of what you can write in the e-mail:

either way u must give out ur IP or website adress and they can search whoise info and get ur home adress and your full name.
Not very smart to host PHISHING sites since if u mess with wrong person
you dont wish to be yourself for a while =)
But it might be hidden as:

I just came home from school. In school I gathered a bunch of e-mails and tried two different pages to phish with: one being the one in the first post and the other one being [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
And now, 3-4 hours from when I came home, three accounts had fallen in! One of them being a fake, I think. The guy had filled in silly names etc, and the account didn't work. Not sure if he misunderstood the site and thought that he could make a completely new account, or that he just understood the scam.
Anyway I got two accounts so far, one of them with two 70s and several 60s and the other one with a 70 and a couple of 60-ish alts... In that short time! This definately works well with the WotLK site. I'm going to gather up some more e-mails shortly and send em all off, god knows how many accs I will get.
I've also edited the guide now, it's now using the Wotlk phishing site instead since that worked way better.
It all depends, some people send all their info and some just acc name and pass, but if you're lucky they've forgotten their SQ/A and you can at least have the account for some time. I rent them to chinese farmers during that time. I've mass spammed e-mails with the good looking template that was posted not too long ago, I think all in all I've gotten maybe 50 accounts. Starting to get a stack with useless accounts too, might give them out soon.
