Of course they aren't, that's silly. Most of the whispers are done using compromised (stolen) accounts. The times where it is necessary to pay for something, they use stolen credit cards. This stuff is done by organized crime rings, it's a multi BILLION dollar per year business, and it's the same people that spam in ALL MMO's. Do you really think they're going to use their own identities and money? They steal stuff from compromised accounts and sell it for real money.
