If you recieve an in-game mail with a wrapped gift and a high C.O.D charge from someone you don't know, be aware that this may be a scam. The body text of these mails may vary, but in all likelyhood, the item will be a trash gift, such as a grey drop or a low copper value item (examples include Skinning Knives or Blacksmith's Hammers.) If you suspect that you have recieved a C.O.D. Scam mail, ''do NOT open it'', and immediately petition a [[Game Master]]. [[Blizzard]] will answer you with helpful automated responses, and then proceed to take no action what-so-ever.

This article is about Cash on Delivery, for the Warlock curse, see Spell shadow auraofdarkness [Curse of Doom]

You'd mainly use COD for selling items to other people on your server by mail, for example if you're selling 20 mithril bars - the buyer may ask you to COD it to them. To access the COD options, simply goto a mail box, and select the Send Mail tab. Don't forget when COD'ing items, to set a price before you send!

C.O.D. Scams

Among the features of World of Warcraft are the ability to sell items through the ingame mail system using a Cash on Delivery (C.O.D) payment system, and the ability to wrap gifts. Unfortunately, there are those dishonest sorts out there who have figured out that these features, when used together, can be abused.

If you recieve an in-game mail with a wrapped gift and a high C.O.D charge from someone you don't know, be aware that this may be a scam. The body text of these mails may vary, but in all likelyhood, the item will be a trash gift, such as a grey drop or a low copper value item (examples include Skinning Knives or Blacksmith's Hammers.) If you suspect that you have recieved a C.O.D. Scam mail, do NOT open it, and immediately petition a Game Master. Spell frost icestorm [Blizzard] takes this sort of thing very seriously, and will take action.
