Legal Question HELP!?

Hello, I buy and re-sell runescape accounts (an online mmorpg game) for extra cash, recently I had a problem with one of the people that I sold the account too. They sent me $675.00 via Western Union and I emailed them the account info. Immediately they told me that they didn't receive anything. I got a voicemail from the buyers Dad (who sent the money), he said that he is going to the D.A tommorow to file charges to shutdown my fraudulent business. I don't know why their doing this, but they are.. Is there anyway I can get into trouble with this. I know it is a virtual online game and there is no way that they can prove that they recieved the account or not, and I know it would certainly create an issue with Jagex. Ltd (the game creator), with copyright issues. I way around that issue is I tell them that I am selling the time it took to build the account. Please let me know if I am in the clear or if I am looking at criminal charges being filed because this worries me because I just do this for extra cash (I'm 21), and I have all positive reviews on the online auction site as well. Thanks, Eric Keller Actually, I do have a regular job, in this tough economy you are forced to find other ways of getting money. Answer #4, Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Any other answers will be appreciated.

1. Stop dicking around on video games and get a real job.
2. The internet is full of scams and the DA is not going to get involved in a $675.000 case. I'd learn a lesson on this scare. Get a second job.
3. If you sold them a genuine account and gave the kid the account info, then you don't have much to worry about. Just be sure you did, the kid probably shouldn't have spent that money, and is trying to cover his butt.
4. They are con-men trying to get you to fork over a "refund". Even if they were legitimate, this is a civil court matter, not criminal; meaning they would have to prove their complaint in small claims court, and the D.A. doesn't handle anything except criminal cases. They probably screwed up somehow. Try to resolve the issue and keep all your emails, and record your phone calls.
5. Get a legal person to write them a letter to stop harassing you. Get a legal person to check out your little BIZ and see how much playing room you have within the law, otherwise there could be trouble brewing out there
