ok, this happend today. i'll tell u the story..
i was on my char today and i see in trade channel that their was a lvl 1 alt telling everyone he is selling raid instance spots and items.. his name was "Validusbank" Validus is one of the biggest guilds on our server..
Well u prolly know what im gonna tell u now... But first, i'll show u what they posted on the forums.

Hi guys Alex here,

I am sorry to say that the Validusbank that was spamming 100g per item in BWL and other instances was indeed a person faking it. It was not me nor do we have a character called Validusbank associated with the guild. You can guess who was behind it.. You only get 1.

But it did produce results I am sorry for.

I got 100's of in game mail as instructed and about 4000g mailed to me. I returned all of your money but didn't have time to formally apologize to you individually for what happen. This was not a Validus promotion.

I am sorry.

---------------

So yeah.. the scam is easy, make a lvl 1 alt and make sure u name it as one of the biggest guilds on ur server like "Validusbank" or somthing. then tell everyone in Trade channel that u are selling epics and BWL spots for 100g and to mail it to u.
You might get banned though.. >.< but u can always go on ur main char and sell something for 10000g or how much u got from the scam and let the lvl 1 alt buy it making u get the gold on ur main, dunno if that works or is detectable from blizz. but yeah
HAVE FUN!

This is good but the risk of getting banned is too high for me atm.

Mach dir einen Lvl 1 Char mit dem Namen einer High-End Gilde auf deinem Server, sprich BWL-Clear Farmstatus und so^^ und häng noch ein Bank dran, zum Beispiel Validusbank (Validus heißt die Gilde) Dann spammst du in IF rum dass du einen BWL Raidplatz verkaufst oder Items die in BWL droppen. Die interessierten Leute sollen einfach 100g an deinen Main schicken, dann werden sei das nächste mal mitgenommen.

Also mal ganz im ernst, wer auf sowas reinfällt :/ Ich hab persönlich noch keine scams ausprobiert, aber alle die ich hier bisher gesehen hab sind extrem dumm und ich kanns kaum glauben dass Leute auf sowas reinfallen ^^
