Wanted to throw this out there as it is easily the most sophisticated scam I've ever encountered.
He contacted me on AIM using perfect grammar, punctuation, all that, which is very rare for a scammer. He said he was from buymmoaccounts.com and proceeds to make an offer on your account and all that. He even sent me an email from [email protected] with a "contract."
What surprised me is that it looks incredibly legit. The guy is way too intelligent to be a scammer. However, I contacted live support on buymmoaccounts.com and they confirmed that he was not part of their team.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up for those that don't do research like me. While he technically hasn't scammed me, I can only see this as an attempt and if I would've handed over the info, it would have been.

ChandlerLT 2 9:49 pm

WoWMMObuy 9:49 pm
(9:49:22 PM): thank you sir, give me just a minute and i can give you a quote, i appreciate your patience
(9:50:39 PM): Okay so I've quoted this, also talked to my supervisor about some things and at this time we can offer $140.99 for your account. If you choose to accept this offer then you will need to have a PayPal account to receive the funds. You will also need Full Name on the account, Secret Question and Answer, access to Email on the account, Username, and Password. If you have CD-KEYS, $20.00 will be added on to your total. For our security we require all information before the funds are released into your PayPal. NOTE: We will ONLY use PayPal to pay for your World of Warcraft account.
(9:50:44 PM): It should take no longer than 24 hours for funds to transfer, sometimes we've had clients that have received the funds sooner than that.
WoWMMObuy 9:51 pm
(9:51:43 PM): during the process, we have an e-mail address you can touch base with. You can do it through my contact here, or contact [email protected]

ChandlerLT 2 10:02 pm
(10:02:18 PM): Hmmm, can you send me a PM on makree?
