What is Linden Lab's policy on forced fradulent transactions. Will L$ be recredited?

In the case that your AV is fored to make a fraudulent transaction of L$ to another's AV because of a mailcious, thieving scripts placed in an object you own, will Linden Labs recredit the stolen L$.

In my case I was sold a camping chair. I was the owner. I was under the impression that only the owner can manipulate an object to make it pay. However, the creator of the object was able to log on with his/her AV when I was not online and, through a backdoor script in the camping chair he sold me, was able to drain my AV of all his L$.

Clearly this was theft. I bought the camping chair with the understanding that it would pay AVs who sat on it a certain amount per a certain interval that I would determine. I did not consent to let the creator take all my lindens through the scripting in the object.

I am trying to be patient wile Linde Staff investigates, but I am expecting a full refund. Also, unless the AV used a third party currency exchange, he could not have sold my L$ and transfered out any USD in time, since I caught the theft the smae day that it hapened. So there really should be no problem with where the refund is coming from. May I please have my L$ back?

Midas, not having all the facts at hand, I can't speak specifically--the Lindens who will investigate it thoroughly would be able to confirm best in your case.

From the Community Standards, this is our general policy:However, to be clear on this: fraud isn't allowed. It hurts us, and it hurts our honest Residents. I do know of historical accounts where L$ was returned to its rightful owner before a scammer tried to cash out.

Hopefully it'll be found out what exactly happened to you and it'll be resolved for the best. So unfortunate to hear about it either way.
