Activision sends a legal rep to a Call of Duty cheat seller's front door, films the whole thing, posts it online

Activision has shared a video of one of its legal representatives visiting the Ohio residence of a known Call of Duty cheat seller. The one-minute clip, posted on the official Call of Duty account, shows the representative arriving at the house, meeting the blurred man, and delivering a cease-and-desist order. The incident took place during the Modern Warfare 4 closed beta on August 22nd.

RICOCHET Anti-Cheat spokesperson notes that cheat makers operate globally, and Activision is confronting them directly. The seller in question, Elocarry, dealt in cheats for multiple multiplayer games including Call of Duty, Rust, and Apex Legends. Before the visit, Elocarry was selling a Black Ops 7 and Warzone cheat pack, priced up to £79.99, advertised as undetectable by RICOCHET.

Activision has issued over 80 cease-and-desist orders, targeted more than 375 reseller operations, and shut down 30 vendors. The company warns of further legal action for non-compliance.
