Virtual worlds like FarmVille and World of Warcraft are being used by criminals to launder money, say NSW Police, who have discovered that buying and selling virtual items and currency is a growing new way of cleaning dirty money.

NSW Police Detective Superintendent Commander Colin Dyson said the "relatively new" trend provided an "emerging opportunity for criminals".

"Any opportunity that is present on the internet for criminals to use they'll obviously exploit it [and] take advantage of it" he said in a telephone interview today. "It's certainly something we're looking at."
