    Scamming wow account ISN'T illegal! All that can happen is the account banned and locked. WoW Accounts have nothing to do with crime.

    As long as its JUST the WoW account, I doubt anything would be criminal. However, if you start getting into scamming for real money, then you are doing something criminal -- fraud.

    OP -- If the kid is just 13, there is no way in hell the FBI is going to listen to his squeaky voice complaining about a WoW account. You should be fine.

    I wouldn't entitle scamming money fraud. They cant do much, wow has a disclaimer to NOT sell or trade your account. Play it to your advantage. In that terms they are basically giving the money on there free will.

    Blizzard is very strict about private and personal details..

    And the letter is ridiculous so just ignore him in my opinion

    What's wrong with you?

    We've told you numerous times that nothing is going to happen.

    If he actually calls the police, how could he get a warrant for your arrest? Citizens don't have that power in the slightest.

    Yeah theres nothing he can do, especially considering that selling/buying/trading accounts is illegal in blizzard's eyes. Like someone stated earlier the worst that can happen is the account gets closed.
