HELP!! legal issues! :(

[pyrojunkie]

Please help! My friend sold his account for 450, and it was payed for by means of money order. He took the account back after 3 months of noticing no use; However, a couple weeks later the buyer found out about it. He knows my friends name, address, family names, and emails. Now he is threatening to take my friend to court by means of fraud/grand theft/scamming.

Here is a quote from the email he sent us:

"A legal notice will be sent notifying you and ****** of pending lawsuit with a 30 day arbitration period. Sorry to involve ******* but as she is the party for cashing check. She is considered a participant in fraud/theft/scam. If you plan on keeping and using the account feel free. Just refund the money for the account, plus transfer fee (x2), and name change fee (x2); the court filing fee and legal costs will be waived."

I thought since selling a trade-marked account is illegal, and therefore voids the contract that it was unenforceable by law, but i am just making sure. Also my friend is a minor so he could technically void the contract. Is this some scare tatic, or could he actually take us to court?

the guy cannot take you to court as you said trading is illegal so if he does get a lawyer and talks about it theyd both go to jail and i dont think a lawyer would tell him to report because of that

I Really Don't Know, But I Dont think that they would take you to court for it, You ask me that would be the stupidist Court Trial ever, "This man/woman Recovered the World of Warcraft Account"

But i guess anything is possible,

I Dont Know..

No they wouldn't go to jail... the contract would just be void and unenforceable by law. The court would just do nothing if this is ABSOLUTELY true.

He can't drag you to the court, however what he can (and should do) is call your friends parents and inform them of the situation.

He can't take you to court because your friend sold something that he didn't own, its in the EULA/etc, and blizzard owns the account, you only rent it from them.
