Reputation: 1 | |  scamming T6/S4 sellers
Has anyone has scammed t6/s4 sellers* by saying you would pay after then refusing to pay?
I'm just wondering if you had any repercussions in game from blizzard or in RL (they ask for your address and phone number) whether it be a lawsuit, small claims, or them hunting you down with a hacksaw.

Theres nothing they can do apart from Blacklist you, give you a bad reputation, Flame you then leave you ;P
Any sensible guild asks for the money upfront then pays it back if you dont get your drop. |

Although the WoW account belonged to neither of them, it is possible to sue someone who stole a service or something that involves time spent.
This is civil court though; it's not against the law to steal an account. It's possible someone could attempt to sue you, if they had a good lawyer and knew what to do, though. |
