Legality question

[Hoots]

Back in the day I would have made a killing except I was too young and my parents didnt allow me to use their credit card on the internet... sigh.

But I scammed probably well over 100million gold, tower in fel, 5 large houses, napa valley full set of 20 server birth rares and almost a castle in trammel.

came back a few years later, scammed a large house and sold for 150$

All done by pretending to be a tradespot broker and sending fake emails that made my sent email look exactly like the tradespot broker's email listed on the site, saying I was a guy from tradespot and told him where to meet me, citing that my icq was down.
shwing!
I had people from tradespot contact me saying they were calling the police on me etc.. oh to be 15 again.
I wouldnt scam now, especially on a shard with only 300 people, its pointless.

The castle story is one of my greatest masterminded plots, but it fell through at the end:
Here is the story if you care to read:


I had a friend of mine scam a guy on siege for TONS of stuff using the same method that I was using (described above) - like easily 10 mil worth of stuff, lots of hero and evil items, it was a bombshell.

He re-listed selling everything that he just finished scamming and someone contacted him to buy it. X Shard trading. He set up a deal with the tradespot broker, and it turned out the guy wanting to buy was the origional guy my friend ripped off underneath a new name had talked to the tradespot broker, let him know what was going on, and the tradespot broker offered to step in and set up what appeared to be a good trade, only to take all of the scammed stuff and returned it to the owner.

So this gave me an idea.

I went looking for a castle to buy, asked the buyer to friend me to make sure that it was legit.
I took a bunch of screenshots with the owner out of them, with the housing menu up showing his name as the owner. I then changed the name via MS paint and screenshots of my own house gump with my name, saved, and contacted a tradespot broker.

I let him know that I had been scammed via the fake email situation and that the guy is trying to re-sell it and is wondering if he could help get me my house back.
I provided him with the screenshots which he believed and was willing to help me with this. I contacted the seller and let him know of the trade, and he was good to go.

We set it up and all met at the brit inn, only to discover that the tradespot broker was FRIENDS with the seller and didnt believe he could have ripped me off. He asked for me to call him to talk over the phone and I just abandoned mission.\


My main scams were:
1- Find something someone has locked down in their house, hide beside it, offer them money for it on a different char, go on other char and wait for them to unlock it, take it.

2- Fake email scam through x shard trading

3- Talking to trammies for sometimes days convincing them that I was a huge trammie myself and would give them 30Mil instead of 15 if they were willing to replace their *house* to a smaller house - as I 'don't trust in doing the re-deeding myself due to not knowing the game mechanics/no experience'. Hide with a deed, replace, re-sell. Man did people hate that.

naw. I have a great job, house, life, animals, family and friends.
I have had minor set backs in the past with ex's but that has came back at them two fold through karma, so maybe I was just a messenger for karma? Not sure.

Yeah obviously being fifteen would have saved me, but many dont consider the legal consequences of these actions (people still murder over the smallest things knowing that you will spend 20+ years in prison over it) , plus being that I live in a different country (canada) of those of which who I ripped off, I wouldn't really have been too concerned.
