EVGA_JacobF needs to edit his post. There's no reason to lie by omission, especially when you are citing a penal code. If this came from the legal department, it's an even worse offense.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that under state and Federal law:
- It is a criminal and civil offense to “buy or receive” property that has been stolen. Cal. Penal Code section 496(a).
(a) Every person who buys or receives any property that has been stolen or that has been obtained in any manner constituting theft or extortion,
knowing the property to be so stolen or obtained(...)
Saying that it's illegal to keep it once you find out, sure. That's included in the penal code, and as previously said in the thread, turn it in, file a chargeback if possible, whatever. It's a lot of paperwork and hassle. But omitting this in order to scare users is sickening behavior.
