Good, they deserved it.

Letting everyone in your region/school know that you're pathetic enough to scam virtual goods is pretty embarrassing

Not just scam, but threaten and hurt the person you are stealing from!

 

[orlando_jordan]

That is very retarded, the items aren't real.

 

[FlubbyWubs]

Its bull shit lol. Like I said before, the items had no value, so they shouldn't get punished for anything..

Think twice before you scam.

Correction: Think twice if your dutch.

I'm honestly amazed that virtual goods are protected under any law. From my stand point, it's a game. If you win you win, if you lose you lose. The law should not come into this kind of thing unless real life cash is involved, and of course with runescape, it is not allowed to buy and sell goods in game for out of game items, so even then the law shouldn't hold up.

Exactly, they don't have the authority to interfere.

Lol that's pretty funny I've got to say. That is the Dutch law though, I have no idea about here in America . But an amulet and something else, that's worth basically nothing, why would the kid take the time to put charges on these other kids. It's ridiculous, and so rare, how did you find this?

 

[CruZr]

I call bullshit, where is solid proof that they both scammed him?
I see none, and any court that convicts with no proof should be dismembered and the court officials executed.

Amsterdam has a lot to learn?

 

[Pin0y-baller]

Lmao they got owned. Deserves it. But I never knew Runescape items were actually considered actual goods.

 

[TaNkErPuRe]

omfg dude thats crazy

 

[kyocera]

lol, ahah that's funny

 

[Damien0124]

Can't you guys read all the posts? They had kicked and threatend the victim with a knife, this is more than just some virtual items -.-

this site should be called www.spammersrus.com

Again like some people were saying its dutch law and yeh its actually true,
i am not dutch nor have i been there but it seems to me that their cracking down on this stuff from what i have read.

Another incident: this was another incident but on habbo and everyone actually knew the guy, he hacked the owners aim and then got to all the mods... a few days of glory ist just worth it.

 

[Tbilisi]

I lol'd.
Ruined lifes from RS pl0x?

 

[Feren Silver]

If over $20 USD was involved, the person could legally take it to court, if he has substantial proof.

Virtual goods in RuneScape hold no value, because it's against the rules to sell pixels for real items. >_<
