I, Cringely . The Pulpit . The Wild Ones | PBS ]   |  The Wild Ones  |  [ The Best Way to Protect Sales of Virtual Goods Can Be Found Inside the Game, Itself Nobody mentioned in last week's column on the buying and selling of virtual property liked what they read. Jonathan Yantis and Internet Gaming Entertainment felt attacked. PayPal felt misrepresented. Even the victims of the chargeback scam were unhappy, primarily because the FBI offered to help. The victims wanted my readers to know that such scams exist and to be wary, but they didn't want me to actually help them DO anything. Fortunately, there is lots to be learned from this experience, and I still get to present some good ideas for how to turn this problem into a business.
