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.
