There's a Sucker Born Every Minute--Make Sure it's not You!

Scams in World of Warcraft are plentiful and commonplace these days. And scamming can hurt, whether you're duped by websites that fish for your personal information and install keyloggers, or powerleveling services that steal your account, or even just people who overprice items in the Auction House. With this guide, you'll be able to identify and avoid the most common sorts of scams, and even possibly turn around a bad situation that would otherwise put a damper on your enjoyment of WoW.

Scamming is one of the oldest practices in World of Warcraft, and it has many different forms. Some scams are done to the player through the in-game system, meaning Trade Channels or Auction House, some promise 'cheats' or other goodies if you visit certain sites, some are just player-to-player trades that involve accounts, some want real information out of you, all ending up with the purpose of having you lose your gold, items, and possibly account, to the worst cases where you also lose control of your PC and must format it.
