WoW Player gets his Family into Hot Water over Stolen Credit Cards
Filed under: MMORPG Related | 4 Comments »
Everyone knows that World of Warcraft is an addicting game. Nobody knows this better than Trevor Miller and his parents, James and Cindy – unfortunately for them, they learned this the hard way.
Seems that Trevor didn’t have money to pay for his account. This WoW-starved gamer then decided to break into a cars and steal the owners credit cards to pay for the monthly subscription. A local detective from Trevor’s home of Buffalo Grove in Lake County, Illinois caught onto Trevor’s game once he noticed several fraudulent online orders and tracked them back to Trevor’s address. Yes, this was a bad idea. How bad though, Trevor had no idea.
Authorities got a search warrant for the house and not only did they find the stolen credit cards, but also they cropped up the parent’s marijuana stash they were growing in the house. Busted. To read the source article on the WoW Player that got himself and his parents arrested, click here.
Where does it mention WoW in the article? All it says is buying virtual gold coins, which is something you can’t (legally) do in WoW?

Another article I researched from the post that mentions the WoW connection.
I bet his parents are going to steal all his gold and delete his character. haha Blizzard doesn’t officially sell any gold but it’s legal. And if this guy is using stolen credit cards to buy gold then that makes him a scammer! So he wouldn’t be allowed to buy an gold on my site.
How is he a WoW player, and where does it say he couldn’t pay for crappy WoW subscriptions ?
