Pretty much this.

Read from an ex-gm on Reddit awhile back that basically they just make an account on those sites, see if people are selling shit, then go look for it, find the trade, ban the people.

According to them some of these idiots used the same forum name on the RMT site as they did for their EQ account.
Yup. Here is a typical entry from one of those sites:

Quote:
Trading account with Level 44 Rogue with Epic and JBoots for project 1999 blue Platinum. Account has been inactive for around 6 months no friends or anyone that knows the character and there is no verification number set so you can claim ownership of the account. Please post offers.
I wonder how hard it is for server staff to find a 44 Rogue with epic and JBoots that has been inactive for 6 months? Hypothetical question of course, it's supremely easy.
