In my opinion, scamming (in game) is nothing to feel guilty about nor is it a sin or a thing you should regret, it is apart of the game where the rules state that you aren't allowed to scam. If the game was all about scamming, would you feel guilty? On the contrary, hacking and stealing is both disgraceful and illegal at the same time. As the government do well, they advertise telling us that you wouldn't steal a car, so why would you download music illegally? I can see you have shown the same concept explaining to us how you wouldn't steal a car, so why would you hack someone's account?
Scamming involving real world trade is also absolutely disgraceful. The problem is that it is just so easy to scam and get away with it - you know you won't get punished for it so what prevents you from making that one bad decision? I'm totally against it - in fact, I recently sold an account for $200 but the creator of that account (of whom I first bought it off at $80) changed the password. The guy who sent me $200 sent it as a gift and there was no possible way he could have got his money back. What prevented me from scamming him? Nothing. So why did I refund him? Simply because I had to. I put myself in his shoes and thought how ridiculously unfair it would be if I lost $200. Did I get the $80 back? No, paypal rejected it. I phoned the boy's Dad who attempted to scam me in order to request a payment of $80 and finally received that payment.
Summary
---------
Scamming in game for virtual items - it's fine.
Scamming for real world items - it's very bad.
Hacking - it's very bad.
