and
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

The reason for this thread is that even though the idea of Aneubarlorey's scam is good, it's not very authentic - I'm trying to make it look more like an actual mail from PayPal, using their original template.

1st step)
Find your target.

First find a website that sells gold. Then you can choose to either buy a small amount and get the info, or just hope for the best and type something in. What you are to type in and where we'll get on to further down in the post.

2nd step)
Get your code in order.

This is the HTML code you are going to use:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<div><br />
    <br />
  <br />
  <div>
      <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="600">

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>
    <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

You are going to have to replace the following:
Company Name
Your name
Amount (which currency, etc.)
Transaction ID
Subject

You do that by searching for the following (put the code into Notepad or Wordpad, or whatever you would like to edit it in).

Search for this to start with:
INSERT COMPANY NAME HERE

Well, that's simple, just insert the company name - sometimes the company name goes under a different name, or sometimes just a person, so it might be an advantage to have ordered from them before and gotten their name.

Then right under, or search:
INSERT YOUR NAME HERE

Well, insert your full name here - of course not your real name.

Then right under, or search:
INSERT YOUR NAME HERE

Insert the same name again, you used before.

The next you need to search for is:
$INSERT AMOUNT HERE USD

You need to replace this with the amount that the gold cost (check the website for server, etc.), remember to get the correct currency, so if the site uses Euros change the $ sign to €.

Then right under, or search for:
INSERT RANDOM 17-digit TRANSACTION ID

As it says, insert a random sequence of numbers and letters, 17 numbers/letters.

Then right under, or search for:
Kin'Toras, EU, Horde, 2000g, Yourcharname

Replace this with your servername, charc. name, etc. as with the company name box, it would be a huge advantage if you knew what the subject usually is from the company you are scamming, because every company has a different way of showing the charc. to deliver to, which server, etc. if you want to try your luck - simply type in as above, with your server, EU or US, and so on.

The last thing you can do (optional) is search for:
View the details of this transaction online

Then replace the thing in front of it, which currently says:
<a href="https://www.paypal.com/row/vst/id=transactionid" target="_blank">

Change "transactionid" to the transaction ID. you have inserted. You can also choose to leave it as that, or simply remove the whole thing if you want to. If the company click on that they will most likely get an error about the transaction being non-existant.

3rd step)
Sending it all.

I prefer a fake e-mailer such as:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

The money I have received has actually come from whomever is sending it to me, so you can create any gmail, hotmail, etc. account and use that to send it, or you can use a paypal address such as: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] - I don't think you can use the .com, at least this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] says you can't with the fake e-mailer. So put that in your "From:" box.

In the "To:" box it should be the company's PayPal address. AGAIN, it would be a huge advantage to have the company's PayPal address, which in some places can only be found by actually ordering something. Otherwise, try using the tip from Aneubarlorey's post:

Quote:

Also, a tip: Ask them on livechat or make a quick order without paying, to get their PAYPAL MAIL! When you have their paypal, just make a fake mail, use my html above, get the html and, paste it into the mail. When you've send wait a few hours go on live chat. BOOM, you'll get your money if they are noobs.

So that's the "To:" part.

The "Subject:" part is actually the subject of the e-mail, so in this case it would be: "Kin'Toras, EU, Horde, 2000g, Yourcharname"

The last thing you need to do, before putting the html in the "Text" box, is that under "C-Type" you HAVE to set it to text/html.

Insert the HTML code in the text box, press send, and hopefully you'll cash in some gold

Enjoy!

The actual scam looks like this:

Another paypal scam.......Can we please stop please.
But I like your guide. Goes in detail. But can we see the result of the code?

EDIT:

Can this be used for buying powerleveling or would that be stupid?

Aneubarlorey · #3 02-17-2008

Lyricalwarfare, just take the code, paste it into wordpad. save it as html.

Added it to my post, thanks for your feedback.

This might be possible for pwoerlevelling, but if the company goes to their PayPal account and checks, they'll see that there is no order by that transaction ID, and then you've got a problem

But some companies might not check it, you'll never know for sure before you try

skaterkid1 · #5 02-17-2008

IS there any legal issues with this at all?

Your right, better not try. But I dont need any gold, rather accounts/toons but thats another topic.
Wish I could rep you, but unfortunately you'd have to wait.

Do you mean ILLEGAL?
Buying gold has allways been illegal and even though the chances of you being caught are low, theres still chances and you shouldnt do it if your a sissy.

Pretty sure there is, after all you're luring a company on money.

On the other hand, they are not very legal themselves.

skaterkid1 · #8 02-17-2008

I'm going to try it there really isn't anything they can do anyways.

Great, feel free to report back on how it goes

Easyrase · #10 02-17-2008

Another thread with my FakeMailer site :P Since i posted my fakemailer thread , about ALL people of mmowned is using it :P

Well, nice guide tho. Yhx

Me0w · #11 02-17-2008

Well I just tried this. Opened live chat and asked how it was going with my gold. He asked if I had gotten a confirmation mail, I pasted him a fake one. But he simply went and checked his PayPal and saw that he never got any money, he also claimed that he never recieved any confirmation e-mail.

Going to try on another company.

[M]illo · #12 02-18-2008

Nice guide. You've completed it finally, this looks real.

True, some manual checks EVERY transaction but some works, but I'd rather keep them for myself. Feel free to PM me.

I would like to say this one is used for peoples with a paypal account.
And, mine is for paypal by paypal creditcard. I'm going to edit it soon though.

Hmm, doesn't most companies require a Verified Paypal Account or is that just something they write?
