A simple C.O.D. scam

Okay, I've decided that I don't want to be a leecher anymore (maybe). And now I'm sharing a very simple and nice cod scam. If this is posted before, I didn't found it with the 'search' option.

So, this is how to do it:
1. Make an "bank-alt" something like "Hurribank", or what so ever you like.

2. Run to the main city and ask a some mage to make you a portal to some un-popular city. Like Darnassus for alliance and Thunder Bluff for horde.

3. Buy something like Large Prismatic Shard(s) from AH for ~20g (on my realm).

4. Post a message to the Trade channel, something like: WTS 10x[Large Prismatic Shard] 150g. (Link the item what you're selling)

5. Here comes the tricky part: When you get a buyer, which shouldn't be a problem usually, tell them that you COD the items or something.
If he wants to trade face-to-face, just simply don't answer him.

If he says "ok" or something, make a COD where you're actually sending just ONE of [Large Prismatic Shard]. Then make the subject look like:

"Large Prismatic Shard [10]"


Usually the people will just pay the cod without looking any closer.

Good luck, and have fun.
