Same name, same server, same level, same advertisement post, word-for-word. It’s the same players.

Not necessarily. These criminals (yes, they are criminals) who do this sort of thing have a huge database of compromised characters and accounts ready to go. Just because you see them using the same character name doesn’t mean it’s actually the same character.

I know there are quite a few posts from a Blizzard Support Forum Agent that explains how they operate. This quote pretty much sums it all up:

@Orlyia

But they do - and they don’t really spend money, usually those accounts are funded by stolen credit cards. You are presuming these are just players, they aren’t - they are criminal organizations involved in credit card fraud, gold selling, money laundering and identity theft.
