| Fellow players, we have withnessed many account deceits and stealing reports at the official forums and i noticed you are doing things that might endanger you.
Please consider this: At the official forums we are all using exact forum names as our login usernames. If you accidently downloaded a key loger program you might be in danger of losing your in game possesions. These key logers note every key stroke you make and send it to 3rd party via net. That other person can easily track your password since it already knows your username from forum.
I hope you all remember what happened to a pantera R4 cleric with uber gear... He lost it all. And gpotato or whoever they are wont do a thing to compensate it (was so last time i checked).
If you are using same UN as in forums please wath out and try not to brag with your equipment, pets, rare items etc. You might become target of scammers.
I have posted this thread because i've noticed a few threads where we, users, "show off" with our characters, pets, gear and I must stress how dangerous it might be. This is still relatively new forum so those scammers might not be aware of it but be careful!!!
Also, in order not to download key logger or similar program, ALWAYS know what you are downloading and download ONLY from reliable sources. Always have your Antivirus and Firewall on. Especially when playing because that is the time you are most vulnerable because you cant see what is happening in the background. After you download something dont forget to SCAN it for hidden software hiding behind it!
You have been warned! | |
