Use Your Brain, Don’t Get Scammed

Never, ever, ever, ever, give your account information to anybody. The nicest people will prey on your greed and rip you off. Well, at least they pretend to be nice. They look nice, they sound nice, but are stinking scum behind the mask.

Here’s the story as it was relayed to me by Straw.

Straw has a friend. I’ll call him Mr. I-Feel-So-Stupid (MIFSS). MIFSS has had a so-called friend. I’ll call him Brown Nosing Scum Bag (BNSB).

BNSB told MIFSS that he found a way to hack the game and get loads of penya for free. He convinced MIFSS that he just needed MIFSS’ account name and password, then he’d fill his pockets with penya. Once BNSB got into MIFSS’ account, he transferred all of MIFSS’ stuff to his character… stole everything. MIFSS aparently had some sweet cash shop items and equips with great awakes. Boom gone. No way to get them back.

In hindsight, if BNSB really had a way to hack the game and get free penya, and he was such a generous fellow, why wouldn’t he just hand over a billion penya using the normal Trade menu?

People, if they want your account information, tell them to go to… well, you know where. I feel bad for MIFSS, but hey… lesson learned.

Edit: Hey Straw, stop fixing my spelling and grammar. lol
