Ok, so if i was to use a scammed gametime card, what are the chances that i could get banned for doing so? i've heard of people getting banned for using scammed cd-keys, but i duno about gamecards.

As long as you don't abuse and overuse it, you should be fine o.O

| what if the owner of the gamecard went crying to blizzard? Would they just dismiss it since they tried to break the tos? or would they take it seriously and ban both you and them? |

But for scamming them off people, I don't think they will ban you if someone claims it was taken from them. |

But, if they are typing it into your youtube scam you are 100% fine. I've been doing this for about 9 months, no problems at all.
Pretty much, Blizzard won't care unless they are getting calls from stores. But, if its from their customers they will say something along the lines, "Only type in your GC Codes on the worldofwarcraft website."
You are fine buddy, trust me!
