Paypal scam

[buddhistgrandma]

So If I scam somebody out of like $200 for an account with paypal, are they able to press charges?

Wait rephrase this. Do you mean if you scam an account pretending to give 200 bucks?

[Saint-Pasdoy]

I'm not sure, it is a virtual item... so...

[BxR]

it's illegal. IMO. Not completely sure, but you are saying you're giving something which you're not and he is paying for it. So, yes it is illegal.

legal boraderline (you wont get in trouble)
if hes not retarted he will get his money back through chargeback unless you recently sent a package to his adress

I believe it is illegal its called virtual robbery, somewhat like if you scammed his CC number.

its call fraud!!! YES, you can got to JAIL for it... only if that person presses charges. And if you did do this, I hope you do lots of jail time & become a good butt buddy..:wave:

it is called paypal controls paypal money not the people that put it in there...basicly the dude can do a charge back and depending on a few factors he may or may not get it back. what i suggest doing is getting that money the hell out of the account....unless you have it attached to a valid cc and bank account.....then its kinda like the waiting game you leave it there for 30 days after which he cant do shit....if you can transfer the money to another account or you can withdraw it or what have you and ther eis no attached cc or bank account DO IT...if he does file a charge back and wins all it will do is leave a negative balance in the account and there aint shit paypal can do about it....paypal wont lose out though...they just wont pay the guy back...and thats the end of it....worst case is any time a claim is disputed your registration information swapped so they get your registered phone # and addy....ah well good luck thats my advice from a seasoned ebayer / paypaller....in all honesty paypal is a last resort in my book.

SpikeeeN makes a good point there, because you don't own a WoW account (Blizzard does).
On Blizzards point of view, you are only renting the WoW account from Blizz.
If you were to try and sell your account information, then you would be selling something that doesn't belong to you in the first place.

Cutting a long story short, Blizzard has our butts covered from jail time.
