There are a ton of different properties that have jumped up seemingly over night to tag along with the success of World of Warcraft. The World of Warcraft Trading Card Game is yet another one of these and was born of the popularity of both the online game and offline games such as Magic: The Gathering. With a game such as World of Warcraft though there were infinitely more options as to how to handle the card game and draw in collectors, one of which was to offer actual in-game items.
So, with the advent of the trading card game arrived the advent of the codes attached to the trading card game. These little codes were attached to certain hard to find cards and allowed players to acquire rare and goofy items in the game, one of which is the almighty Turtle Mount.
Well, not everyone was keen on playing the card game and so many players are willing to dole out a few hundred gold in the game to get the codes from the cards to acquire their mounts or other Trading Card items. Unfortunately, this also means that a small percentage of scammers have found yet another new way to prey on item hungry players and steal their gold.
