You must have heard of certain crimes or scandals committed by those gamers! Today, let us take see how many players did things that shouldn’t be done and other silly things in March!
First of all, on March 10th, we have a Canadian child who called the Halton Police station after his mother changed his Xbox account’s password, and a few moments later, Halton Police’s official Twitter posted: “Mom changing your Xbox password is NOT a reason to call 911.”
Never thought we'd have to say this but here we are. Mom changing your Xbox password is NOT a reason to call 911. Yes, this happened.

Next up, let’s take another look between police and gamers but to an adult this time.
After a British fugitive armed robber escaped from prison for months, he was arrested again while he was outside just to buy video games with a friend. According to Birmingham police officers, 36 years old Clint Butler bought <Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War>. He was prolonged by 17 years for robbery and gun crimes, but escaped last year in November from prison in Buckinghamshire and hiding away from police. Until the day he decides to come out and get his game, Butler and his friends tried to change their path after the police have found them suspicious, and that caught the police’s attention. They went forward to Butler to ask him why is him out here during the lockdown and he only replies with: “To get the new Call of Duty.” Then the police continue to ask for more details, and Butler assaults the police out of the blue. After getting arrested, Butler was sentenced to 13 months imprisonment and 6 months imprisonment for assaulting a police officer. The police are also puzzled by Butler’s risk of coming out to buy the game.
To be honest, I am also very curious why not use the delivery or find a friend to pick it up, but it seems like it is what it is.
Many senior hunters will love this next one! A Japanese monster hunter enthusiast took advantage of the game elements of the game monster hunter and brought drinks such as “Healing Potion“, “Cool Drinks“, and so on to all guests at his wedding. Honestly, I’m very curious about the taste of the cool drinks…
Fourth! Although it has no connection with games topic, a German man was defrauded of 10 bitcoins not long ago that worth about 750,000 U.S. dollars. The scammer pretended to be Tesla founder Elon Musk, created a high imitation account named “E lon Musk“, sent him a transaction page to the man, and told him that this was a gift event for all Bitcoin enthusiasts. The event claimed that as long as you send Bitcoin to them, you will get twice the amount of rebate. If users who pay are not satisfied, Tesla will also give away a brand new Tesla Model S to each user who sends 4 Bitcoins or 150 Ethereum. After discovering that he was scammed, the man tried to contact the scammer and retrieve his bitcoins, but the scammer has already disappeared.
