2. I can choose any unique name that I like. The name I chose was unique. There are thousands of characters out there with 1 or 2 characters different in their name but ver similar overall.
Not really, no. Your name has to fall within the rules, and you intentionally made your name with the intention of having people think you were the real Chribba.
Quote:
3. The dictionary definition of impersonate is:
'to assume the character or appearance of; pretend to be'
Now given that my name was spelt differently and my character portrait was different. Any person with half a brain cell would have seen that I wasn't CHRIBBA. I never said in chat that I was CHRIBBA,. I just told the buyer that I was taking care of the sale.
Just because you don't tell them, it's obvious that you intended for them to think that. Thus, you were impersonating him.
I still think the rules are a bit murky on this TBH. Why would CCP put all those tips in the knowledge base if the operation that I carried out was against EULA and people could just petition and get their ISK back.

The rules are not murky, they are very clear. Scam away, just don't use someone else's name to do it. Trying to be Chirbba because he's a known name (and trustworthy) is what got you in trouble.
If you had used a name no one ever heard of, you'd still have your scam isk.
Also, you're a low life piece of $%^@. DIAF.

Wouldn't have said an easy ride. I had to train corp management 1 :), wait until the real CHRIBBA was offline and there was a certain amount of social engineering on my part as the buyer said when I convoed him 'I didn't see you log on mate'
EVECitizen
HOLD!
This guy you scammed had Chirbba on Buddy and still fell for it?
I reverse my previous point, that guy got the screwing he deserved.
Still, don't steal identities.

Biggest mistake you made was in not laundering the isk out of that account as soon as you got it. Yeah, you'd have ruined that toon with a negative balance but you'd have kept the isk :)
FYI, CCP does know how to check more than one character, and they do. Nice attempt though.
Nothing stopping you buying xxx amount of billion's worth of a commen product and putting it in secure cans around eve. I'd love to see ccp track that.
You aren't really a computer guy are you?
That sort of thing is EASILY tracked by the eve client/server. All a gm would need is your wallet history, your market history and your Assets history. It would be trivial to trail the isk.
Also, you may "pass the isk along" in some convoluted scam to trick CCP, even if you manage to hide the asset from CCP (near impossible) they will just remove X isk from your wallet, all the way into NEGATIVE balance. They will do that to EVERY TOON that touched the money. I've seen it happen.

Why is it ok to cheat people in a game? I have never understood how people can justify that cheating in RL is bad but cheating people over the internet is ok.
Cheat in real life = someone lost something of value that can't be replaced with the click of a mouse.
Cheat someone on the internet in a game setting = role playing and no real loss for any real person.
I can see a big difference.
Also, ask this question instead
Why is ok to kill people in a game? I have never understood how people can justify that killing in RL is bad but killing over the internet is ok?
See how silly it sounds now?
