Well, my unfortunate freind just got scammed from this guy because he sent him a fake email asking for his password/address/ ect. Please note that this scammer was Claiming to be Blizzard Entertainment Inc. when he was not.
Anyway, it turns out what this scammer does ( dont ask me how I figured it out, long story) is he sends these emails out, takes peoples accounts, and then re-sells them for $$$. And then when people try to charge him back through paypal (because eventually the person who bought it from the scammer figures out it was a scammed account), he keeps the money because of paypals policy with virtual goods (they just end disputes over virtual goods, in other words, once the payment is sent to the scammer, they cant get the money back because its dealing with intangible/virtual goods).
So I was wondering, is this a felony or is it against US/international law is any way? I mean, if this was with REAL items, then yeah, its a felony. But these are virtual items, so does this still apply to US law? I mean its still real money right? The scammer WAS asking for his address, first and last name, phone number... in the email and pretending to be blizzard entertainment inc when he is not, is that against the law??
I would like to hear some opinions from people.
