Wake n Bake's scam guide

Tez · Mar 1, 2011

Hello administrators,

I hereby report Wake n Bake for his 'moneymaking' guide (ironic as it makes you lose money rather than gain).

His profile: http://www.sythe.org/member.php?u=282943
Trade explanation: I decided to purchase his guide as I thought it would be a good moneymaker. I had a chat with him through MSN (I didn't take pictures, however, it's unimportant for the scam) and I just asked general questions regarding the guide. The false claims can be seen on his selling page, found here:

I don't need conversation pictures for that matter. I paid $5 for it (see further on).

How he scammed: The guide itself is a scam. There's no profit in it, let alone the millions he promises. The item is a fraction of what he claims in 'his' (leaked) guide. Below you can see the proof:

~~~~~~~~~~~~Wake n Bake's Guide to making 3M - 3.5M Per hour!~~~~~~~~~~~~

Requirements:
63 summoning
300K GP+

The steps:
1. Buy as many eggs and Ophidian incubation scrolls as you can afford. Get a spirit
cobra pouch.
2. Now head to any bank of your choice. And get out your pouch and scrolls.
3. Now summon your spirit cobra.
4. Withdraw as many eggs as possible, which should be 27.
5. When these steps are done, click on special move (summoning icon) then click on an
egg. Keep repeating this until you have finished all eggs in your inventory.

The normal egg is ~104GP and a scroll is ~317GP. And the egg that you make out
of the normal egg is worth around 3,330GP <--- This is false. They are worth 330 GP (shortly rose a bit), I tested it myself and the GE testifies*. So... the guide is a scam and makes you lose money.
104+317=421
3,330-421=2909
=2.9k profit per 1 egg

Thank you for purchasing my (Wake n Bake) guide.
Hope you enjoy!

NOT FOR RESALE UNLESS RIGHTS WERE PURCHASED.

I wasn't talking to an imposter; I simply added the e-mail adress provided. Although I have no proof of this. As you can see in the thread, in the last page people are disapproving the guide and calling it a scam as well. The people who vouched all happen to essentially be newcomers that most likely aren't genuine buyers. This must have been set up. Also, the fact that the sellers Paypal adress isn't verified is typical for a swindler. Below a screenshot proving I paid the seller the money.

Although on his selling page he charges $8, he must have thought that that would attract hardly nobody, therefore only charging $5 person-to-person to at least scam some money. I should have taken pictures of my MSN conversation regardless. I won't forget that anymore.

Luckily, I have PM'ed three other people who should testify of this scam guide and hence post here claiming the very same (be it with their own evidence).

I look forward to my report being handled.

Thanking you in advance,
Tez

* EDIT: I urged the victims to respond to my thread. I also noticed seller locked his thread right after the complaints came in.
