World Of Warcraft Gold Buyers Putting Themselves At Risk Of Credit Card Fraud.

A growing number of reports have highlighted an increasing risk of credit card fraud and account hi-jacking associated with people who now resort to the banned practice of purchasing World of Warcraft gold online.

New York City, NY (prHWY.com) December 10, 2011 - A growing number of reports have highlighted an increasing risk of credit card fraud and account hi-jacking associated with people who now resort to the banned practice of purchasing World of Warcraft gold online. It is reported that the popular online game has gained a massive following and just about every single gamer is looking for a way to get ahead.

World of Warcraft enthusiast and owner of http://cataclysmscalergoldsystem.org, Dennis Richards had this to say: "World of Warcraft is a time consuming game that requires strategy to truly master. To develop these strategies is the result of many years of gameplay and some people just do not have the patience for it. They resort to 'buying' gold online or handing their accounts over to strangers in an attempt to 'level-up'. More often than not, they become victims of account hi-jacking and credit card fraud a few months down the line".

The practice of 'buying' gold online is whereby gamers visit shady websites and exchange real money for virtual world of warcraft money. Prices start from about $1 for 1000 in gold. After the purchase is made, the gold is then 'delivered'. Generally, the purchases are handled by PayPal and therefore they are relatively safe. However, some websites suspiciously do not offer this and gamers put themselves at risk.
Also, because Blizzard, the creators of the game, have put some many preventative measures against the ways that gold-sellers use to deliver gold, they now have to hack accounts in order to accomplish this. This leaves gamers open to a potential attack and total raid of their accounts in the future.

Furthermore, underground forums have reported a lot of these websites simply not delivering the gold that has been paid for. It seems that the webmasters are happy to take people's money and not deliver the gold. There is a chance that the gold delivery methods are actually being thwarted by blizzard's increasingly tight security. Either way, money is being stolen and gamers are too afraid to raise the issue with the authorities as it could possibly lead to Blizzard discovering their part in the practice and their accounts being shut down. Also, the amounts of money being stolen are relatively small ($10-$20) and the gamers feel it is not worth getting their account shut down over.

Additionally, there is speculation that a lot of these gold selling websites are run by the Chinese Mafia who seek to capitalize on desperate gamers looking for a way to get ahead in the game. Not only are gamers unsuspectingly financing atrocious crimes, they are potentially leaving themselves open to credit card fraud which could lead to financial ruin.

Blizzard has been relentless in its pursuit of ways to curb this practice. Anyone caught purchasing gold online will have their account permanently banned. Also, many WoW gamers are against this practice and they will readily report anyone they see taking part in this practice. They have also tightened security to make hacking accounts much more difficult and while their efforts have led to many of the sites shutting down, many of them keep finding ways to circumvent this issue.

Dennis Richards encourages gamers who seek to get more WoW gold to employ the same tactics used by the top level WoW gamers. "Buying WoW gold online is dangerous and it is not necessary. What you need is a good strategic guide and the patience to try the techniques and make them work for you. If you simply don't have the time, then you are not serious about the game and you shouldn't be playing World of Warcraft"

These tactics are found in the best-selling World of Warcraft gold guide: Cataclysm Scalper Gold System. Testimonials report that most gamers who follow this guide have been able to get an average 60,000 gold in a week and this would normally cost $60 on these shady websites.
