Okay! My hands are itchy
Now that the forums are up, I can't stand being in game all day long.
So, this is a guide on how NOT to get scammed.
Since I didn't save the topic I did on previous forum, I'll start a new one. (:
And include SS if I have any.
1)
GOLDEN RULE OF ANY MMORPG GAMES:
TRUST NO ONE2)
Game Master Impersonation & Common scamsThere are a few ways of this happening.
A) Someone will claim to be a GM and needs to check your account for something.
They will ask for your username and password.
B) Names similar to ANY Game master or admin. (Usually during major problems)
Example: lnformer (with L)
The SS below is quite recent when everyone's credits was 0 after changing webshop.
C)
Mail Scam. Someone will send you a mail saying you have won a full option set with 5 sockets and seed level 5
or something along that line. (Too-Good-To-Be-True-Items) thats what I call it.
(Image not from this mu but will look something like this. >_<)
D)
Website Scam Someone will do /post ingame telling you to visit a website that would give you free credits or items.
Example of what a scam website would look like:
E)
Unobtainable items in game (VIP MONEY mainly) Someone will post he's selling VIP money which you can only get through donating.
Picture below is usually what
FAKE SELLERS will show you.
It does nothing and is NOT vip money.F)
Vault Scam (Only for Guild Masters) Please be aware that there is a GUILD VAULT in LOREN MARKET.
Someone you don't know will give you a request to join guild. If you accepted it, he will tell you to go
LorenMarket for something. He then tells you to put all your items in the vault and Log out.
When you log back in, your items will be gone from vault and that guy will be out from the guild.
Lastly, If you keep these few steps in mind, I'm 100% sure you won't get scammed by anyone.
