WoW Stat Hack and related products are scams (fraud) often sold through internet bots from within the World of Warcraft gaming environment. Other sales techniques involve YouTube videos, and Google ads.
New users are targeted and offered a means for quickly achieving very high player stats or experience points with little effort. The product they buy does nothing to help them.
The hacks are downloadable products that claim to make the player invincible. The downloaded products frequently do nothing at all, or create a false appearance of increased player strength. Documentation provided with these products is designed to confuse users and delay any attempts at a refund.
In cases where users are able to make apparent changes to their characters' capabilities, these changes are local only to their client and have no real bearing on character performance at the game server. In effect, the software provides the user with the illusion of new strength. Characters operating in this mode are killed as easily as if the illusion were not present.
Stat hacks are big money fraud that feeds on the popularity of online games and on naive users of such games. Products have low prices in the hopes that most buyers will not seek a refund or other remedial action once they discover that the purchased product has no real value.
The following exchange touches on key aspects of the fraud, including observations on technical limitations of the "hack" products.
