Lying, cheating, and falsification are forbidden by Islamic law and are reprehensible by custom, whether in writing data to create an electronic account or otherwise. The conditions set by software owners must be observed and adhered to.

Cheating and falsifying data does not result in the prohibition of money that has been transferred.
