Just a warning to anyone on this forum
so, yesterday i got the pleasure of talking to 2 cops.
i sold in game gold on world of warcraft before, but now i get this visit cause apparently my IP address was linked to a few emails about someone selling a (mask) via craigslist. and they said they think i have more or less scammed the guy out of 300 bucks.
they said the emails come back to my IP address, and that paypal has this HUGE fraud team and they limited my accounts and such cause they thought i was committing fraud. when all i have ever sold is in game gold
i was told before to send a letter so i had a tracking number *so nobody could take my money back on paypal* and now i get this
they asked if i had any friends over that could have done this to me, well yeah i have friends over but im not going to just go though a list of names and get ALL of my friends mad at me, now i dont know if i could go to jail over this, i mean all the proof they got over anything is emails that are linked to my IP address, ok so now what? they told me to just sit tight and not to worry, but when you got two police men who have there GUNS at there side, and there telling you that i was being investigated what ELSE am i going to think about besides being worried?
so now i got to think, did one of my (friends) do this to me? was it my ex girlfriend who is VERY mad at me? for what its worth i keep getting a TON of emails and phone calls from people on craigslist saying they want to buy water fountains and watches and stuff i have posted, and im not posting ANYTHING!
ontop of all that i didnt know i could be hacked cause i got wireless internet months ago, my IP company never even informed me i could be broke into via wireless internet, i called them to talk to them about it today and they told me (oh your password was just your default phone number and such)!
so i dont know if i should call a lawyer today or what, the cop told me he would tell me when i needed to find a lawyer, (they was very nice to me however) but i mean this pisses me OFF
have any of you guys ever had something like this happen to you before? can i be put in jail over emails i didnt even write?? im SO LOST!
i give up tho, im never EVER EVER EVER selling anything else online again
this is WAY over my head... sorry about the huge wall of text but im just SO stressed out right now
