I’ve gotten several of those on Netherwind, since the transfers. I think they tried to transfer gold to catch a newer population. I haven’t played in the options, but I’d like to be able to disable those chat invites.

It’s the new gold seller strategy since you can’t report a channel invite.

If you whisper them, you can right-click report your whisper, select spam, and put gold seller in the comments. That way they still get banned.

You can disable chat channel invites. It’s in the same area on the Interface options as blocking guild invites; just can’t remember the page off the top of my head.

Best thing to do is report him and move on. They must be either duping gold or hacking accounts to steal gold. There is an option in interface / social that lets you block channel invites.

They’re a little tricky to report, but someone wrote up a ‘how-to’ in the CS forums:

PSA: How To Report Gold Sellers In Classic WOW

The Classic WOW gold sellers have a new trick and it makes it hard to report them any other way other than manually opening a ticket. But here’s what you do instead: Decline their chat channel invitation Note their name and message them something “Hey!” Right-click their name after you send the message and click “Report Player For” and choose “Spamming”. In the details box, put something like: “Invited me to a chat channel with the name of a gold selling website” All done.

There’s also a blue post regarding it. They’re aware of how these scammers are doing it and are looking to make it easier for players to report.

I got one of those invites a while ago at the Crossroads. I just ignored it.
