How to Scam In-Game WoW

[Mitch]

I used to do this when I used to play WoW, I dont know if they changed it or stopped it from happening. I will warn you that you could get 3-day banned for it (I got 3 day banned but I know how to perfect it).
Heres the scam.
1.) Join a trade channel.
2.) Look for someone selling an item for a lot of gold. Eg. Epic item for 450g.
3.) Make sure you have the 450g on you.
4.) Heres what I did wrong, I "Agreed" to trade the user. What you want to do is DONT SAY ANYTHING. Its good if your a priest and you can /who and mind vision, but you can ask "Where are you" or "Meet at Auction house" or Invite to group. Just NEVER accept to pay them 450g.
5.) Open trade window, put the 450g on your side of the screen, make sure they see it.
6.) As soon as they put the item down, take a 0 off your 450g and accept trade. So you actually pay 45g for the 450g item . Resell for 300g and have fun with your huge profits.

Note: I haven't tried it since I got 3 day banned. On my email that said I am temporarily banned, it said "Player accepted the trade to buy Elementals Deck for 300g and had a quote of me accepting it". Thats all the proof they had.
It should be flawless. They have no record of you quickly changing it from 450g to 45g, if you do get a ban you should be able to dispute it. Say: "I just put the money in and waited about 20 seconds and he accepted trade, not my fault."

If this doesn't work anymore, please reply and say something.
Good Luck!

i just wonder how you did this , did you show the gold then right before he accepted you took away the 0?
becouse , if you change the amount after he has accepted , his acceptance will ''dissapear'' if you understand what i mean.

[Mitch]

Yea, you gotta make sure you put down the 450g, he has to see it - So it has to be FAST (Maybe get the gold on your finger before you enter trade, click on him so the gold automatically goes in). Then once he puts down the item, take the 0 off and hit accept.
