The first serious abduction of a gamer happened using Google
Last week, armed guys, in a number of 4 people, aged from 19 to 27 years, took hostage an avid player of the world famous game GunBound . The criminal group has set itself the goal of finding the password from the account in this multiplayer RPG game. The approximate amount for which a group of teenagers planned to sell the gamer password is approximately 8 thousand dollars.
The kid, who is one of the oldest and most advanced users of the game, was tortured for more than 5 hours, and all this time the leader of the gang of kidnappers kept him at gunpoint, but the gamer did not succumb to the threats of intruders and did not give out the password.
A well-known fan of this RPG was lured away using Orkut (Google’s online social network). The girl, who now appears in the case as an accomplice, under the nickname of Tamires, frowned upon setting a date for the star of playing space through Orkut, thanks to which he was able to catch the criminals.
The game is no different to some super-world-popular, because the kidnappers decided that they are not in danger of exposure and relied on easy money.
However, five hours of persistent resistance of the victim himself and the work of the police allowed not only to keep the password secret, but also all drama participants to remain intact, and to get the culprits according to merit.
The network is full of messages about this incident, but the most complete description of this story lies with GIZMODO , but I don’t really like the way it is written there ...
