Reputation: 391 Level up: 31%, 763 Points needed | | | | Re: Got A lvl 70 Priest Here's how it goes: no US law is broken through account scamming unless money is involved. TECHNICALLY, impersonating Blizzard (the scam page and the e-mail phishing scam) MAY be considered illegal, but there's a 99.9999% chance you would never get prosecuted for it. Now, if you were to sell tons of accounts you've stolen for thousands of dollars each week, you may eventually find someone who reports it...the FBI will investigate it and you may actually be charged, go to trial, and possibly be incarcerated (at least a fine). The chances of this happening? Pretty damn low. But if you're making TONS of money off of it, you may be risking yourself. This is why I never involve any money in my scams, it just gets complicated. I just play the accounts I scam, or trade them (to play them). |

Reputation: 5 | | | Re: Got A lvl 70 Priest yes you can go to jail for any type of theft but the fact that its online theft (very hard to for a cop to trace your steps but some of them are well trained) and its about a ****ing WoW account I dont think the police will give a shit and search around the world for you. Also if I where you id sell the priest for like $200-$300 and get the buyer to send it to your paypal account. Then just go onto your main and either keep your money or buy like 5k gold. Also do you think the victim will call the police to get his account back OR will he call blizzard my guess is that he calls blizzard and they tell them they cant do anything cause its his fault for trying to sell it and giving his personal information away so easly the police arnt going to get involved themselves for some kids ****ing account when they are probably like jumping threw roofs and stopping drug deals and catching killers lol.

Don't worry about it, just trade it for another account quick. He will report and they will probably find out your Main Account. Thats what they did to me and I got banned. Just trade it asap.. |
