[davdbg]

is he using 3rd job classes?.... OMG those chars are from the ones that he steals!!, pls the people that lost their accounts ask to the GM to bann your own accounts using your email, i hope you dont give the password from your email or you dont use the same password for RO and your email.

This GX you're talking about seems to claim his account got "hacked". Not sure of any details or whether he is telling the truth though.

lol, it is sad what people resort to for accounts.

[stygionyx]

And I always thought that Bots are the only sole problem in iRO....

@ meditation: I put that topic up I figure it was about time that everybody started to fight this off.. Already had a colleage get her stuff ripped off at one point by going to the site. This phenomenon started to rise in a matter of a few weeks but they targeted the higher tier players.. I'm glad Oda saw the post earlier

Alright this made me laugh but don't you need the 4 digit number on the back?Or do they just spam random numbers till they get it?O_O

[Darksorrow1234]

i got the new pm again lol from a novice. few minutes later i noticed him wearing a CEB, 3d glass and umbala spirit selling gears in eden. 

[AvalonEir]

He's PMed at least 2 times on 6 of my different characters. Guess he has nothing better to do? Anyway it's sad people still fall for something this obvious...hope the ones who get hacked recover though.

[Oda]

PM me with the name please.

[Tamago]

As mentioned the culprit is starting to target high tier characters that are most frequent in where they keep their novices or w/e chars they have. Its starting to be another scheme trend in chaos.

make sure to report these to me immediately. Oftentimes the PMing character is another hacked account, but we can still track where the items go and lock down the accounts before any more damage is done.

[hmc317]

I got pm like that a couple weeks ago, but i ignored it, since it obviously was a scam. I think it was a thief that pm me.
Fyi if u want to bait the dude into pm u, just stand around eden with clearly visible high priced items, like hbp, faw, bdm, equipped. Then u can take his name down and report him when he does pm u.

[Draciolus]

I'm surprised none of my chars selling stuff have been targeted yet. Gears open, or even clearly stating the item being sold. Would be fun to mess with the persons head though.

[Tamago]

Well... this is per se.. but in most cases. I think they want to target a small portion of the people who are most likely found in the public areas or places where they keep a general conversation open.

[ShinobiEX3]

interesting

to say the least i never got pmed but id love to talk to him for a bit see what makes him tick

 

[ararenja]

i got something similar oda, ill send you the name and the screen shot, he even said that its vote worth of 2000 Kafra point lol

[rockymom]

I got a pm like this too. I told him to give me the URL and I'd check it out later. Never bothered to go to his site, never planned to, but he left me alone after that

[rodezja]

I already thought I'm so forever alone even scammers don't want to talk to me, but I got this guy offering me 2k KP yesterday : P

Buuut of course didn't took a screen nor remember his name... It was a 150 RG tho.

I'd say they use accounts of people who they scammed already to continue this crap... But I actually don't believe it somebody who's 150 would fall for that...

[markdoesbark]

You'd be surprised on how many people fall for such trickery, always looking for the easy way out.

[Draciolus]

Well, I finally had my run in with them. And they were swiftly dealt with. Kind of funny how the whole "my computer is lagging..." thing kept him busy with me, while submitting a ticket.

[Oda]

The tips you guys sent me does seem to have helped. They had alt characters up that were advertising for the sale of the items stripped off of the victim account that was contacting everyone. Nothing had the chance to move off those characters before they got locked down.
