Scamming has been around World of Warcraft (famous Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying game with over 9 million worldwide subscribers) since day 1. Most people scam other users in game for a few gold or a pricey item. However the scammer we are about to expose scams for real-life money using ingame advertising.

Let me tell you about John Burgess (other aliases: RedOct2k3, RedOct, Xavier Lumine, October, and Scarries).. he owns wow-dupe.com and he makes 5 Million Dollars a Year... Doesn't pay taxes.. Doesn't have a tangible product.. and brags about it.


 

How is he a scammer?
The digital products he advertises for sale as working DO NOT WORK.

How is he a spammer?
If you've ever played World of Warcraft and visited a major city in the game, you are bound to have had an encounter with one of his many bots that he has setup ingame to spam you to visit one of his many websites (or anyone elses.. at a fee.)

How does he continuously get away with it?
As I said he likes to brag..




Every so often he is forced to create a new merchant account because after so many charge backs and fraud complaints he has to start over with a new fake business name. PayPal closed his original account with $20,000 unpaid in it and has been banned from using PayPal.

So why is this website here and what do I plan on doing?
It's about time someone put a stop to him.. I figure by putting this information out there, people will become AWARE of what is going on and at least not make a purchase on any of his websites. 

What are his websites?
wow-dupe.com
worldofwarcraftdupe.com
warcraftcheats.net
fastleveling.com
mmo-underground.com
runescape-tip.net
gaming-strategies.com
wow-advantage.com - spammed ingame
wow-toolbox.com - spammed ingame
wowaccounts.com - spammed ingame

What ILLEGAL / UNETHICAL things has John Burgess been up to.. besides not paying taxes and false advertising?
Getting fake pageviews from YouTube ( as seen here ) (youtube banned him: www.youtube.com/user/redoct2k3)
Hiring coders/hackers to Spam Thottbot.com
Hiring coders/hackers to Spam HackingSource.net
Hiring coders/hackers to DDoS MMOwned.com
Hiring coders to create automated tools to spam World of Warcraft
Running a dozen or so PC's simultaneously spamming World of Warcraft characters with his websites.


I wonder what he's been doing with this tool? Spamming Thottbot maybe?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what else is Mr. Burgess up to? Oh yes, spamming Google.

 

It looks like he got nervous.. Doesn't change the fact he was trying to sell this. Too bad the mods don't care..

Websites

Income: Between $2000 and $10000 average a day.

02. Embed in software hidden account creation code, so only have to pay for less than a 3rd of accounts created.
03. Embed in stat hack program account creation code, so people who buy stat hack, contribute back to company.
04. Embed any other code desired, such as google ad bomb against unsuspecting rivals to remove their ability to get paid by google.
05. Stat hack creates randomly generated errors from friendly UI, leading person to attempt "old method" of using TSearch which is confusing and takes a long time to figure out doesn't work.
06. Create website offering free services to steal legitimate wow accounts for purpose of tell spam.
07. Use purchased legit accounts to invite trial accounts to Raid and spam using Raid Warning.
08. Sell spamming services to other companies, promise 3 machines, only put up 1 machine.
09. Use e-mails gained from software sales to spam future scam products.
10. Profit.
11. Spend company money on personal items such as diamonds, gym equipment, $1,000 tip for friend at former work place (tax evasion).
12. Use drugs at place of business
13. Pressure employees into doing same.
14. Rack up debt for employees to keep in employment.
