EDIT: If all the times I threatened someone I actually bought a boat, my backyard would look like this:
+ Show Spoiler +
So I was on Ventrilo about a month ago and this guy I don't know logs in. Now I'm new to the server, but the guys already in my channel I know, one lived down the street from me and the other lived about two towns west.
So we find out it's this annoying kid with a highpitched voice who called himself "Prestige11" and I just facepalm IRL because I know it's one of those stereotypical modern warfare 2 faggots who annoy everyone. He randomly selects me to be his target because the name I use (arcticwarfurr, ARCTIC NOT MODERN) happens to be at the beginning of the alphabet.
So I stay silent through this whole thing and one of my friends decides to bail my ass out of the fire and says to the kid "Yo, do you know who this guy is?" and the kid shuts up for a sec. Now I'm just waiting for him to say something snappy and give me a second to get two Advils, one to cure the headache and one to jam down this kid's throat.
He says, "This guy can hack you before you know it. Know why he's not saying anything? He's too busy acquiring your dad's social security number."
Now the kid actually starts talking again, but he's nervous. He calls my bluff, so I just give him a slightly modified version of a number i saw in an identity theft protection commercial, and he starts begging me.
Point being, I want to push this through a little bit to get him to log off the channel, so I start telling him how I've always wanted a boat. I search "boat" on ebay and recite the name and price of a nice-looking one, 16 feet long and about USD$5,200, and copy and paste the URL, and tell him that I've almost gotten to his dad's credit card number and as soon as I do that boat is mine. I have no idea how to actually get from Social Security to credit cards, but these kids don't know about it either, so he believes me.
My friends get pictures of their favorite boats, and we're just making fun of this kid with our boat threats until he asks for our demands. I tell him "Just let me remember this moment," and we tell him how Aidan just started the whole hacker story to shut him up. He laughed and then left, and then we laughed at him for buying the story.
Problem is, last year, a cop visited our school and told us we could actually get fines/prison if we do shit like that, and I'm just wondering, is it by the consent of the victim? The kid laughed along at the end, and I don't think I'ma get in trouble, but if I did, what would I get (not in the US, but in other countries around the World too.)?

Come on, we live in the freakin UNITED STATES. People get brought to court for the dumbest things. And making threats like these isn't as innocent as spilling hot coffee on yourself.
BMing that annoying kid like that should be great, but really in such a world, you shouldn't take chances. Common sense says that you were just messing around with that kid, and he deserved it, but the world doesn't work like that unfortunately 
edit: hahaha nice one Frozz

Don't mean to be boorish or rude
But sounds like you're gonna be sued
Try not to be crass
When they jail shaft your ass
'Twas really nice knowing you, dude

I feel bad for everyone involved. Truthfully, I mostly feel bad for myself.

lol, if ur a minor, the only threats that you could actually get in trouble for are national security related. I.e. if you were to threaten to bomb said kid, it would be an issue. Also, its the bloody internet, im not really sure how said kid would be able to find you again and discern who you are irl, and then proceed to start a lawsuit.

Tell him you dont know what he's talking about, your friends should back you up
no ones going to believe some shitfaced little 13 year old anyway
|
sounds like you should make a pre-emptive attack before shit hits the fan
find out where he lives
destroy him
delete blog
then you will be safe
BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
|
Maybe it might be classified as "cyberbullying"? Kid sounds like he deserved it anyway.
|
I believe you just discovered the ART OF TROLLING people on the internet.
Welcome to the brotherhood.
|
What are they gonna say, "This kid pretended to use my dad's (false) social security card to buy a boat which he didn't buy, and then told me he was just kidding and we all laughed about it!!! WTF!!!"

Anon is legion.
But he could still say that it was still cyberbullying so IDK what will happen.
Only one way to check: find another unsuspecting kid and tell him I'm buying boats with his dad's money, see how he reacts.

unless he commits suicide or something, there's no chance of anything.
well, most likely i should say.

You're in America, so you're guilty of Cyber Bullying, probably Terrorism, psychological abuse, and possibly fraud. I'm pretty sure you can be hanged.
Either that or absolutely nothing will come of it...but I'm pretty sure you'll get hanged.
|
I believe you are threatening him because you want to "get back at him", not trying to get his money, etc. I highly doubt this is a serious offense.

Dude u need to chillax, the worst possible thing that can happen is that you get banned from the vent server, seriously grow a pair.

In the Good Ol' USA, a country made by lawyers for lawyers, whether or not you'd get in trouble for this sort depends on how good your lawyer is and how reasonable the judge is. Potentially you could get in deep shit. Or potentially it could get laughed out of court. That's just the way these things go.

In Estonia, noone cares about the internet.
You would probably get a verbal warning. Worst scenario - a small fine.
Unless people screen-record the whole thing with audio, they have no proof. Your word against his.
|
Ya dude nothing is going to happen.
|
Put a password on your vent channel imo.

coffee lady got a shit ton of third degree burns, was hospitalized for eight days in which she lost a fifth of her weight while receiving $11,000 worth of skin grafts and had to undergo medical treatment for two years after that
she should have sucked it up and took it like a man, lawsuits are for wimps

So are you saying if I do get sued, I'll have to buy the kid and his dad a boat?
|
Btw, if you ever want to do it again, I'd suggest making the two middle numbers 00, or else you'll be using a real SSN.
Although I wouldn't suggest it, someone might actually say something.

if im using a kitchen knife to cut potatoes and i accidentally cut myself, im not gonna sue the knife manufacturer, im gonna tell myself to be more careful so it wont happen next time.
if i slip and fall down the stairs, im gonna tell myself to be more careful so it wont happen next time.
if i eat some food that i got at the grocery store and i get food poisoning, im gonna suck it up cuz it's ridiculous to sue the grocery store.
these examples are less extreme, but they show that it's not only McDonald's' fault for making the coffee hotter than normal. she wasn't being responsible either. her compensation was astronomical for what she suffered.

Yes, I think that's 1 good way to settle it.

Meh, it's not like I have a boat shortage or anything.

True that. Look at all those boats in your backyard! 
|
maybe i could just get the boats from the kid's father if they're rich and cut out the middleman 
Side note for the topic, I AM repeating this prank, and I've learned that I should be safe as long as he doesn't go in with video capturing, and I assure him that I do not have his personal information for the purchase of nautical vehicles.
EDIT: And if I were buying a boat, the dad should actually get a phone call asking for confirmation of the purchase. So I would actually be screwed there.
Also, the sig.

lol, this was epic! congratulations on scaring the shit out of an fps doucheling. i highly doubt anything would come of it, as he's being a dumbass and you're both young, but don't go making that your day job (god, i wish that could be a day job).
