AP: Man faces charges over World of Warcraft account fraud
Posted on | January 15, 2010 | No Comments
USA - Police in Clearwater, Florida has arrested a 23-year old Christopher H. Bouffard and charged him with two counts of grand theft. According to the Associated Press, the man was scheming to defraud people using his World of Warcraft account as bait. Bouffard never gave out the information to his account even though authorities say at least two people paid Bouffard $760 each for his virtual property.
This scam is probably the oldest one in the book and it happens almost every day. With 11,5 million monthly subscribers, the economy related to buying, selling and trading World of Warcraft accounts is huge. I am very pleased to see the authorities dealing with the losses inflicted by these scammers in such a serious manner.

World of Warcraft affair lead to arrest of housewife
Posted on | January 16, 2010 | No Comments
Authorities say Lauri Price, 42, Houston mother and housewife, flew to Canada and lured a 16-year-old boy, whom she allegedly had an online sexual relationship with for more than a year, away from his home. According to Harris County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Donna Hawkins, the relationship started in September 2008 when Lauri Price met the then 15-year-old boy through popular online video game World of Warcraft.
Lauri Price now faces charges on two counts of online solicitation of a minor and one count of enticing a child with the intent to commit a felony. “She talked to him about sex and a lot of different stuff. It was a very long, long grooming process” said Lt. Matthew Gray with the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce.
A dispute in the case is regarding the legal age of consent, which is 17 in Texas and 16 in Canada. Lauri Price’s attorney, Skip Cornelius, said he finds it both interesting and sad that Texas authorities are prosecuting Price for solicitation even though the boy was old enough in Canada to give consent.
If convicted, Lauri Price faces from two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 for each charge, said Donna Hawkins.

World of Warcraft threatens porn industry
Posted on | January 18, 2010 | No Comments
According to this Tom’s Hardware US story, World of Warcraft is now encroaching on porn industry territory. The news article features Aiden, who runs his wife Belladonnas porn site on the internet. The article accuses online gaming such as World of Warcraft of eliminating the porn-for-profit market, based on a recent Daily Beast listing describing the top five reasons why porn-for-profit is dying.
Perhaps not to your great surprise, industry insider Aiden points out that both porn and online gaming are both forms of entertainment that appeal to similar crowds.
“It is all entertainment that you are getting involved in the same way as porn is entertainment,” said Aiden. “I won’t say everyone, but a lot of people in the industry play videogames. The games are competition for porn. Fans jerk off to porn and are done, but you can keep playing a game.”
Aiden, an avid World of Warcraft player himself, is no stranger to spending time in the online gaming world. “Yeah, my wife and I occasionally argue about the amount of time I spend playing,” he admits.
Finally, Aiden nails the coffin by underlining the biggest reason why porn-for-profit is dying. “People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it? The only ones making money out of porn are the novelty companies,” Jeremy said.

Putting pressure on World of Warcraft scammers
Posted on | January 18, 2010 | No Comments
Popular World of Warcraft account trading forum WoWtrade.dk has an entire section devoted to reporting scammers. The burden of evidence is always on the victim and evidence is often scarce. YourAccountSeller.com has adopted a different policy. However, rather than accusing people directly, we will be making two e-mail lists: A list of red flags and a list of yellow flags.
If an e-mail is found in the list of red flags, it means the scamming has been proved. If the e-mail is found in the list of yellow flags, it means the e-mail (and the person behind it) is in some way associated with scamming. You should refrain from trading with people found in BOTH the yellow flag list and the red flag list.
Head over to the list here: List of known World of Warcraft scammers.
