I am a big-time trader, and throughout my expirience in trading/selling/buying I have learned a pretty cool trick to NOT lose a character, or get gold jacked when you get scammed by someone who changes the pass.
*NOTE* To do this you must know your account's SQA/Parent Control pass (if set)

1. Before you trade go into your account management window.

2. Go to parental controls.

3. Set all the little blocks red (locking the account)




One you have done all this all you need to do is enter the Parentl Control pass you have set.

Once doing this you are safe to trade without any risk of character deletion.


How it would go:...

You have just exchanged passes. You are trying to enter his but his doesn't work.
Quickly you try to log into your account management on a new page. Password incorrect!

Quickly you open the Parental Control page you already had open, and click accept, locking your account untill you contact blizzard and retrieve it.


If he by some chance was able to logon and change the pass fast enough, it will Disconnect him, and not let him back on. If he was not logged on, and tried to logon, it simply will not let him.


Good luck. Hope this guide helps you all when trading.
