I just performed a scam for some gold,
I added a chinese fag on msn, he sent me paypal gold. I used tor to create the acc and without getting new identity and accepted the guy's money and went to a gold website, where I bought a whole lot of gold.
The website sent me an email saying I needed to talk to them on live chat, but when I went there with the proxy it wouldn't let me enter, so I removed the proxy and talked to a representative. She asked for phone number, so I gave a friend's phone number. My friend said they ringed him up once, but hung up. Now they are starting to farm my gold...
The money will probably get recalled. Can they do anything just buy me logging into their live chat without IP hidder and they having my friend's number? I used Tor for everything related to paypal btw... |

I've been 135£ in the red for a month and nothing. And if they do ask me to pay them back or anything stupid.. well, I'm just an innoncent 17 year old who works in IT..

Even if it does get recalled and there farming your gold who cares unless it was like a thousand bucks, they wont care they make a ton of money as it is. I'm also guessing you live in the States if so I doubt they will go threw all of this trouble to find you over a few hundred bucks. Nothing to worry although I don't scam in real life money. |

It's not a game, Don't do it, It's just not worth the problems.
Yeah, you'll get away with it a few times, but it'll grow into something bigger, until it bites you in the ass.
My 2 cents, GL. |

Reputation: 1 | | | I actually had someone scam me, turns out he used someone's paypal account that he stole. I contacted the person, and she filed an identity theft claim against him. I told the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) anything and everything I knew/figured out about the guy. Turns out he was a 16 year old kid that lives in los angeles california. The authorities never contacted me about what happend to him though.
It's a Federal Offense to steal money from others similar to what he did. Should he be tried as an adult he will go to prison and be fined several thousand. I believe the same applies but not prison if he's tried as a minor. |

But its true Christina is right.. your gonna scam the wrong person one day and although u have a tor he will make you pay. Eventually you will get caught just from now on stop close all your emails you used paypals whatever dont talk to him you will be fine. |
