WoW - how can you confirm last name accuracy

[shazb]

If buying an account, how can one confirm that the last name linked with the account is, in fact, the last name that the seller tells you?

you cant really, have him get a screenshot of account page and see if last name first lette rmatches up with one he tells you, only way. but you still cant tell if hes lieing

Someone posted an idea a while back that seemed to work for them. havent tried it myself.

you just say that you had a pre-paid account that you stopped playing for a while. You say you forgot the account name and the email it was attached to. they will ask you for the full name on the account to look it up.
give them the name and they should be able to tell you if its attached to an account or no....do a search for the post.
