quick safety questions

[nyc718]

for example i buy a new account. only thing i need to change is email, phone number, address, password. right? then the OO
will have no way of getting it back?


i want to sell my account . what info do i need to change before i give them my password. this way the buyer will not steal my Identity. also if im selling my just the toon to the buyer. what do i need to do in the PAID CHAR TRANSFER screen? i just need to add the target account and thats it right?


lets say i buy a character and it transfers over to my brand new account (new cdkeys) with the name matching its OO, but account name,address,phone number, and email is my own. will i be safe?

thanks for replys

The OO can recall it via Blizzard if he calls and tells them the account name, full name on the account, and secret question/answer.

Nobody will steal your identity, heh. Find a trading guide, there are quite a few good ones in this forum.

To transfer a character off the account, the new account has to be in the same last name. Other than that, transfer away!

Sadly, no. The original owner can virtually do anything with an ID fax. Also, he can call and get them to revert the transfer, claiming it was unauthorized.


Pro tip:

DEAL WITH SOMEONE LEGIT! GET ALL THEIR PERSONAL INFO! DON'T BE A DUMBASS AND JUST GIVE THEM THE MONEY!!!!!

Personal info.

Reputable buyer.

No being a dumbass.



Stay safe.

Before you do anything, contact me on AIM about your potential seller and I will check him out for you. A quick background search will us a lot, feel free to contact me anytime.

Read up on the trading guides around the forums, there are some really awesome ones. I know Boneshaman has a nice one, not sure if there are more up to date ones out there.

Again, contact me on AIM before you buy.

Good luck.
