i received a COD mail from a guy named Autlonhouse (it's L instead of I).Telling me that "Item sold".
of course this will not cheat me. but i'm afraid some players new to wow may be cheated.
hope GM can ban the account.
check the screenshot attached.

There are multiple threads on the topic.

viewtopic.php?f=45&t=4490&p=39728&hilit=auctionhouse#p39728

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4234&p=37724&hilit=auctionhouse#p37724

From what I gather these folks are supposed to be suspended/banned, but since I keep seeing this guys name over and over (or in this case, a variation of the name), I assume he has not been as of yet.

Cheating is such a strong word, could we use the term "scam" instead?

Honestly, coming from a EVE background, I don't really see this as being a issue. I understand why the majority opinion would be that it is a issue, but meh. It's a legitimate way of making ISK, err, I mean gold. :P

Not even really a scam, kind of a grey area. He's sending you a CoD and you have the option or not to accept it.

This has been noticed by staff as scamming recently.

These members (with screenshot evidence) are being banned as they come so thanks for the report. :)
