I believe it is against the TOS so if they catch you they will probably ban you. I wouldnt go around bragging about it to people in game, and I wouldnt go buying more right away.
Most reputible WoW players look down on people who do it anyway so telling a whole bunch of people would be a double loss.
Have fun

the games companies dont like people doing it cause they aint making money so they may ban you if they found out to try and stop others from doing it but you know it is kinda cheating

It most likely will result in a permanent ban. Blizzard tends to ban for things like this in big groups, so it could come anyday.
Purchasing/selling ingame gold or items for real world money is a violation of Blizzards TOS. You’ve agreed to this the very first time you logged in and the first time you login after every patch. Your account will indeed be banned.
They have routines setup to flag certain activities that occur in the game and investigate them. In this case they will check where the gold came from and follow the trail. When it comes from known characters that facilitate this kind of transaction, the accounts involved are banned.
And as an extra added bonus, the sites that advertise this kind of thing are generally loaded with keyloggers. Just visiting one the sites could cause you to lose your account to hackers.
If you value your account, I would refrain from this activity. You might also read this statement from Blizzard:

Hi
Yes it is against Blizzard’s T&C’s and it will result in a ban so I would not carry on!
There are loads of ways to get gold in WOW without having to resort to buying it anyway.
Why not try getting a proffession in game that makes the most Gold?
I think that skinning and mining are the best ones! Definately easy to start earning alot of gold fast with skinning.
Also if you want lots of gold do some grinding of humanoids and these tend to drop more gold as a rule.
Also try picking up Magecloth and selling at the auction house as this always seems to make a profit!
Hope this helps!
