Came across this while looking through PC Magazine, Virtual Detectives. That's right, according to PC Magazine teams of Virtual Detectives stalk In-Game Spammers, that's
"In-game characters controlled by individuals working for spam companies infiltrate these virtual worlds and bombard players with unsolicited ads for the sale of in-game virtual items like swords and even playable characters." - Pc Magazine
.
"This is forbidden by all game publishers within their player rules of conduct." - so Sony Online Entertainment(SOE)[Found on PC Magazine]
In summary, in-game spammers bombard players with ads for sale of in-game items. Kind of like e-mail spam but while playing MMO games. To read more about this head over to
