[Help][PayPal] Scamming USD with non-existing WoW accounts.

[trancehax]

I know nothing about paypal and what it covers / doesnt cover.
I was wondering...
Say I found a sucker on MD.
Said "WTS blah blah full t6 400 USD"
If he's dumb enough to do it without seeing it ingame, and I wait 72 hours after he made the 400 USD payment to my paypal, the 72 hours have passed, and I do not give him ANY account.
What can happen?
Do I keep the money unharmed because it's a " Virtual Item "
Or what?

Rep to anyone who gives accurate answers.

I would avoid scamming for money, especially on paypal, since I have now read many topics recently about how paypal is still fining them and they are getting in some deep shit.

[trancehax]

Well I'm not sure how they would find out about the actual " account " I was selling him.

[Latoneyde]

Once he doesnt recieve the account, he can file a dispute and he is BOUND to win and get back his money.

[trancehax]

I've been hearing they could care less about virtual items.

[Latoneyde]

Exactly, so when he files a dispute, they don't care about you because they give the buyer the benefit of the doubt so they refund him the money.

Trust me, i have personal experience with this.

What if you buy something before he takes them back?

Paypal has the right (and has been known to) file a claim and make you pay a certain amount of money. If you don't pay it then you can be taken to court and prosecuted.

and if I have a fake paypal?

[Latoneyde]

Its your risk, make sure you are behind a VERY good proxy, because it is possible to track you down even if you use a shitty proxy.

[Techno Marine]

Hasselhoff have used this method for years as well as others.....seems like its not that risky ?

[Latoneyde]

Well, its up to you to take the risk; as i said before, make sure you use a good proxy.

[Techno Marine]

yeah i will, thanks mate.

[Sinsane]

That would suck like some shit,
how much money would they fine you
in his case 400$ ... and then some?

[trancehax]

Grr, I'm about to ring paypal and ask them:

" So hey, WHAT IF I pretended to sell a World of Warcraft account, and never gave the guy the account even after he payed? What would happen? "
