Stolen money- Not my fault- but got banned

[AllisonnArgent]

So there's this guy I trusted and he was a fake. He had stolen money and hired me and a friend to be the managers of his club. We hired and everything was alright till pay day, he gave me 5k - stolen money, I had no idea, and all of a sudden i login the next day and it says my account is on administrative hold. Now- why is it our fault that he paid us?!  How was i supposed to know that he paid us stolen L? Me, a DJ  and the owner who started the business got banned and the other manager still has the account. Another DJ has - 900 on his account and it's getting more as time passes. We are only the victims of a fraud, why did LL close our accounts, they didn;t even tell me why, they only said i violated the TOS. And if they have the right to close the accounts that got stolen L, ( I never had the chance to spend the L) why did they close only mine and his ?!! The other staff got paid too! LL  won't  even want to listen to me! I cant call LL because the number doesnt work in my country on none of my phones. Their support is not effective and doesnt help anyone. This is my 4th banned account ( First one got banned for doing nothing, the second for using my credit card - LOL and the third because I received  gifts bought with stolen L from a person I dont know ).

Please help me... I am unable to do anything... I tried everything and they said my acc will be permanently closed. Why that and why only me  and the DJ?:( I dont want to start all over again and in 2 months be banned again. Maybe i have some spelling mistakes but that is only because I'm not american or english. Thank you in advance anyone who replies and helps to sort this out.

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do.  Linden Lab does not ban anyone permanently until they are convinced that it is necessary, and then their decision is truly permanent.  From your description, it sounds as if the pattern of your past problems finally convinced them to ban you.  Lindens never come to this resident-to-resident Answer service, and we have no way to offer you more than best wishes.

Incidentally, a permanent ban truly is permanent.  If you try to start over again with a new account in two months, the account will be blocked again.

I'm sorry this has happened to you.  However, you need to be aware of two things:

First, YOU are responsible for whatever is done with your account.  If someone else uses your account to commit TOS violations and you don't report it promptly, your account will be banned.  If you accept stolen $L, even innocently, LL can ban your account, or fine you 150% of the money (which is why your friend's account is going negative, I expect.)

Second, if you have had four accounts, and each one has been banned, if should start to dawn on you that You're Doing It Wrong.  Linden Lab does not ban people arbitrarily, they WANT people to use Second Life.  Four bans tells me that you are constantly trying to game the system, in any way that you can.

And blaming the consequences on everybody but yourself.

I have to agree with the honorable Lindal-chan. Getting one account banned may be regarded as a misfortune but getting four banned looks like carelessness.
