 | | Scamming interview
Why did some popular scammers start scamming?

| | Introduction
Scamming has been around on MMOwned for a long time already.
It has brought good times and bad times to MMOwned.
The scamming section attracted a whole new group of people towards the website, good and bad people.
Now the group of scammers are a small part of the overall members on MMOwned, a side effect of an exploit site.
On the other hand, MMOwned got a very bad reputation from this section.
People are often referring to MMOwned as a scamming website now, while the scamming section is only a root in the tree of MMOwned, and not even the biggest root.
In the end, the scamming section is always a hot topic during staff meetings and in the Shoutbox.
We were curious to see why some persons are into scamming and what they are getting out of that.
What is better to find that out than to simply interview these people?
We have interviewed Remus3, Nolixz, Chenquie, Mea.Culpa, [F]ear, Chrommie and Hasselhoff and you can see the result here.

| | Great interviews..
Good job people! :] | | | | | Quote: |
-- Note: Remus3 has been caught shoplifting a few days later and was put in jail for the night. He is currently not scamming anymore.
| I remember when he posted a shoplifting thread in ESA, I told him he should quit with it or he would get caught soon, but he didn't listen  So people don't think you will get away with it cause you are "always lucky" or "a pro" in it. And for scamming, first learn how to secure your safety before starting 
- And Forever, very nice interview | | | | | | indeed piree and in the end, a scammer is nothing more than a thief. | | | | | | true i dont condone scamming personally i been moving away from it and lol i had the securest route man; there is always the unknown factor ; humans | | | | | | Wait.. Remus3, you scammed I.R.L?
anyway, good to see the interview up.. | | | | | | mmhmm more than shoplifting too; but i ****ed up on that Friday afternoon in walmart(went to target earlier.. WAY TOO much security) and they assigned 3 secret shoppers to me; if you ever had a person IN your comfort sphere and how agitated you get ... 3 of em aint better.
I tried getting into the bathrooms but 1 was a guy so i tried to leave and I submitted rather than run out due to a friend being with me and he cant run like I can.
--@article; I was only put in jail for a Misdemeanor Class B ;
THEFT PROP>=$50<$500 10/03/2008 - Held Bond: $500.00 Status: Released
Court Date: Nov, 14 (I expect either 10 weekends in jail; or 1 year probation)
Hopefully going headlong into Software Engineering; here on mmowned ive been looking into ME, and EMU

anyway, good to see the interview up.. | You are all scamming IRL... THIS is not a game you know...
Theft over the internet is still stealing. | | | | | | The shit we steal, is from a Video game.
It's not a direct theft, it's not illegal.
I don't do steal other stuff.
There is a difference. | | | | | Don't turn this into a war now, see for yourselves what you think of it but keep your opinion for yourself | | | | | Quote:

There is a difference. | But you steal the virtual stuff that you can sell for REAL money, hence it is theft.
and Forever an article is here to start a debate as well we might as well discuss it here | | | | | | dont forget as well; such admins have called upon scammers, I know i did was wrong; i was punished for it and I accept it as such. would I do it again, probably not. HENCE why I have stopped scamming etc.
I believe it has prevented me from entering other places *cough* Emu expert.. I was doing and maintaining my own Emu server (self compiled not some shit repack) long before entering the scene in scams, and though I try as much as I can, they wont accept me 1) GP hasnt "seen" work from me here. why? because at that point in time it was worthless to attempt, reposter galore/spam heaven etc.
2) They have this innate thought process of idk wtf im doing and only got a #33 server (this was back when extreme top 100 came about.) from a repack that "anyone can do" .. NOT ONCE have I at least been interviewed nor would they ask to see any work. I spent a year on AC-Web. I developed on their repack with Nate. Do they care. obviously not. anyways im off track.
Scamming was a viable choice for me to excel in, I took that side path and sometimes regret it. I lost a few personal accounts though I have made quite a bundle of money.
If I could do it over again.. I wouldnt have chosen the scam section. Thats the way the cookie crumbled. | | | | | | I do not agree with scamming (You can see that a bit in my conversation with Chrommie).
I think taking accounts from (usually kids) is just unfair and a little degrading even. Scammers always say they deserve it because they are stupid but how would you feel after an account where you've put a lot of work in got taken out of your hands and that someone else is now playing on it?
You may say "It's just a game" but if you put a lot of work in your account, which most people do, it's always sad to have it taken away. | | | | |
