Pretty much every WoW player is aware of Real Money Trading (RMT). It means the trading of real money for in-game currency, and in WoW it is forbidden, therefore players who buy WoW gold with real money risk losing their account.However, some games allow RMT to take place. When faced with a huge demand for currency, games developers can either make it against the rules for players to use RMT like Blizzard does, or they can actually oversee it themselves. This brings in more money for the developers, but is usually unpopular as players can almost 'buy' their progress in the game, meaning players with more disposable income will be able to purchase game items with real money instead of having to 'grind' for them.
However, even when developers choose to run the RMT side of the game themselves, there are still players who try to get things cheaper and end up getting duped. Such is the case with a Danish player of the MMO, EVE Online. The game has a system whereby you can purchase game time, but then sell it as an in-game currency. This guy chose to buy 100,000 Danish Krones worth of it (that's around $19,000) from an outside seller, much like a WoW gold selling company, but when the goods never showed up he took the sellers to court - and walked away empty handed.
That's what using untrustworthy RMT companies gets you. Be warned!
