Scamming tips for WoW

BlameTheGame · #1 12-03-2008, 04:59 PM

Hi folks !

Before scamming, you'll have to prepare. I can't stress enough how important it is to mask identity, I've had extremely bad experiences with not doing so, so I strongly advice you to do so.

Most people believe stuff like No-Ip.com will do the work,
NO, No-ip keeps logs of you're activities, and some people will go great lenghts in order to get their account back.
Therefore I suggest you to use:

Code:

http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en

TOR gives you a static IP, and does not keep logs, making you a lot harder to trace. So download it and set it up

Now you need a new MSN or AIM, so put on TOR and create a new MSN or AIM.
Whenever you're going to use your scamming mail, put on TOR.
It's important not to call your email something with WoW, like WOWGEEK@HOTMAIL.COM, people find that very unreliable.
It's very important you have a reliable name too, something like "Michael P." instead of "KANYE WEST ROXXOR HAHAHA!!!! LOL" or "WTT WoW Account, write to me!!"
People have a tendency to find you more trustable having a RL name instead.

Good you got your stuff ready, let's find a victim.
I personally use either Markeedragon.com or WoWTrade.org
If you're one of thoose who believe this "The Jackals" bullshit, don't scam people on MD with more than 6 rep.
Personally I've scammed serveral with more than 6rep and it never backfired.

If you're new to scamming, I suggest you not to go for the big fishes, as they are usually used to scammers, so if you're not that experienced, aim lower.

Fine you found your victim, you got him on msn or AIM and started talking.
DON'T be in a rush, chitchat, asking a lot of questions regarding his account in a row makes people suspecious, experienced traders or not.
Keep your story as simple as possible. The bigger story you make, the bigger the chance is it'll backfire.
If the trade lasts over a few days, create a .txt and copypaste all relevant you told him, if you first get caught in a lie, you can pretty much wave the account bye.
Social Engineering is everything is this business, practice is all it takes.

Using Fake Mailer
There's a lot of uses in using a fake mailer in WoW scamming purposes.

Code:

http://www.webwizny.com/sendemail.php

This fake emailer, also got the capabilities of sending SMS's in the US, so if you're dealing with a guy in the states that want you to send him a text message, then this is your friend!

An example how to use it, just the basics (this one is mainly for morons):

Code:

Me: Hi, still trading?
Victim: Yeah what you got?
Me: Son-Goku which epic dragonballs!
Victim: Awesome, let's trade
Me: Okay I'll go first with info, step by step.
Victim: Okay
Me: Acc name: XXX
Victim: XXX

Etc. Now you swap CDKey, the 4 CC digits, RL info.

Me: Okay, now lets swap emails :)

Now you simply send him this fake email:

Code:
Hello XXXXX,

This is an automated notification regarding your World of Warcraft account XXXXXX. Some or all of your contact information was recently modified through the Account Management website.

*** If you made recent account changes, please disregard this automatic notification.

You can login to Account Management at the following link to review your account settings:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account

*** If you did NOT make any changes to your account, we recommend you change your password and make appropriate corrections as soon as possible to ensure account security.

If you cannot sign into Account Management using the link above, or if unauthorized changes continue to happen, please contact Blizzard Billing & Account Services for further assistance.

Me: You got the confirmation email :) ?
Victim: Yeah ;) I'll swap mine to yours now
Me: Perfect, I went first with all the other stuff, mind going first with SA ?
Victim: Sure.

Request password and GG you got a new account, this only works on idiots mainly though.

You can do almost the same, though you tell him you request a new PW with his email, so he can see you changed your mail to his.

Then use this mail:

Code:

Blizzard Entertainment has received a request to modify some of the contact information on your World of Warcraft account [XXXXXX]. Below is the request we received from your Account Management Page: 

Original E-mail Address: [a*****] 
NEW E-mail Address: [XXXXXXX] 

In order to finalize and authorize the above change[s], please click the confirmation link near the bottom of this e-mail. The update will NOT be completed unless you click this link. 
If you no longer wish to make the above change[s], please disregard and/or delete this e-mail. 
If you did not request the changes listed above, Blizzard recommends you login to Account Management and update your password as soon as possible, as your account may have been accessed by an unauthorized party. 

*Once complete, this process cannot be reverted except through another change made directly via Account Management. By clicking the link below you authorize the changes above on your World of Warcraft account [Alexbeck001]. 

Confirmation link: [https://www.wow-europe.com/account/confirm-contact.html?cid=fqearpczqxpopzk] 

If you're experiencing difficulties finalizing this request, please contact our Billing team: http://www.wow-europe.com/support/webform/billingDefault.html?lan=en 

Note: after clicking on the confirmation link to update your e-mail address and verifying that it has been changed, it is advisable to delete this e-mail for security reasons.

Let's say you scammed an account 2days ago, now you send your victim a ban mail, to make him lose all hopes:

Code:

***Notice of Account Closure***
Access to the World of Warcraft account, XXXXX, and any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, has been permanently disabled. The account has been identified as having used unauthorized game modifications and thus is in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. The recurring subscription on the account has been disabled to prevent further charges.

Please review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use at WoW -> Legal -> Terms of Use, which you accepted when you installed World of Warcraft and established the account(s). Section 4, Paragraphs A and B detail the limitations of game play modifications and use of any third-party or packet sniffing software.

Furthermore, any activities not intended by game design which affect the economy, the client, player characters or the world itself have a tremendous negative impact on the potential enjoyment for all players. The effects of these activities take many forms including a bloated game economy, server instability, and allowing unauthorized access to accounts, computers, and player data.

As a result, the account(s) will no longer be accessible and will unfortunately not be reopened under any circumstances.

Any disputes or questions concerning this account action can only be addressed by Account Administration. To learn more about how Account Administration is able to assist you, please visit us at Blizzard Support.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter and respecting our position and all statutes within the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.
