Whew...was wondering when one of you guys would show up to back up the entire point of the post. bonus points for posting anonymously like a true level 1 troll.

What I don't get is all these "scams" seem to contribute to one country. Yeah its a big county with lots of people but shouldn't we see scams like this from any country that plays wow? They get the stereotype because like 99% of these types of situations do come from the asian market. Just like how all the "I need your help getting some money out of the country" emails come from Nigeria.

Its like one of their chief exports....scamming.

Yeah I don't know why they can't afford to have someone get the language down right...there is so much effort put into copying things (aside from the internal nav links lol) that it seems like such a waste to blow it on bad engrish. But I suppose thats one of the positive points on a post like this...the fact they give such obvious mistakes makes these things easier to spot.

Well I'm relying on the common sense of any reader to catch the sarcasm of a post like this and not need an obvious warning on the bottom. I've been a huge advocate of the authenticators since they launched (I was lucky enough to get one from the first batch) and I think if you don't have one by now you kind of deserve to get hacked. And I know just having a authenticator doesn't make you immune to a keylogger you might get from a site like this either...keyloggers are for more then just wow anyway. But if you're smart...you won't have that issue to begin with.

I suppose my point is that the vast majority of these kinds of scams are way to painfully obvious and if you fall for one....thats on you. Yes its not kind to wish ill will on others but I double over laughing when a guild bank gets jacked because seriously...Blizzard gave us an IN GAME way (core hound pet) to see if your guild members have an authenticator and only those people should be trusted with access. And even so every guild should have only have one person who has access to "the good stuff". Maybe its because I've been playing for 5 years now and have never been hacked and doubt I ever will be.

lol...i haven't been plagued by any Aion emails yet but I do see that kinda stuff for IRL banking information about banks I don't belong to.

And your comments always seem to work for me. What are you having issues with? Maybe I can adjust something.

I had to...partially cause "I was in the mood" and also because this site was soooooooooo bad. It was a phishing site...that ripped off another phishing site (the scam about testing mounts). It was too terribad to pass up on posting about.

Yeah I've seen an increase in these as well....

Helpful link for those who don't know it already....http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ at least this will flag the sites before you enter them in some cases.

Hanzo made a comment that their guild is almost word for word like the guild I posted about in http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/a-dedicated-raid...

Tell him I sent ya :)

yeah...one of the times this website was being discussed in vent (again they weren't even acknowledging I was there), someone asked if my posts were any good. they answered "meh...its alright i guess...better then that girl who posts there".

just so happened to be the same night i decided i was fed up with their bs and was going to quit.

not all of the guild was asshats to be honest. i'd probably say only about 80% of them were.

the guild leader had always been pretty well kind and honest to me but his "leading" never seamed to extend beyond boss strategies and deciding when to call the raid. he was quite indifferent as to the 80% of the guild who feel the internet is the perfect place to spread their diseased ideas and attitudes.

yeah anything outside of raids they seem to put little or no effort into anything. like i said, i had been wearing the guild tag for six months and still never was upgraded to access the guild forums. I suppose I could have asked around who does this but if the guild was even remotely organized for such things, they would have done it automatically.
