Account Scam

[Lyndzey]

A few players have received the following email from [email protected]:

"Hello valued graal account user. Unfortionately there has been a big


error with our server, and I must inform you that the server

administration needs to remake the account database manually before

there is permenent data loss. What this means is that I need you to

respond within 72 hours with your Graal accountname and password to

preserve your account on the server, if this is not done your account

will be deleted and I will not be able to confirm the data so there

would be no refund or new account then. We at GraalOnline staff would

like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
- Regards
- Stéphane Porta (GraalOnline Server Manager) "


"Unfortionately", this account scam might work on a few people. Once again, we remind you that Graalonline will NEVER ask you for your password, so please do not fall for a scam like this (more work for me :[)

ehhh... who would believe that?

Who knows. I got an email from someone pretending to be PayPal regarding my Ebay account, but the PayPal logo had no trademark and if you checked what the link was before you clicked it, it took you to some random site with a redirect to paypal.com. Someone must have really been screwin around with PayPal recently

even if unix asked you for your graal password he can find it out anyway so he wouldnt need to ask o.O

I got quite a few messages with something like that. "Help, I sent my password! What should I do now"?

Yes, exactly. Alot of players are oblivious to this kind of thing.

aww, i as all set to warn everyone XD, u have to be dumb to fal for it. (no offenvce if u didi)

Yeesh. When I woke up groggy and disoriented this morning, I actually did send back the info because I didn't check here first, but quickly went and changed my pass again. It's a good thing, too, because I don't want to have to wait another 3 months to play, and by then, my Gold would be out.

Oh the irony. Please don't type like that if you're talking about intelligence.

Of all people...are you serious? X_x

I have had bad experiences in the past, and each one I've learned from.

At any rate, be ready to global the IP that logs onto multiple accounts.

Already computer ID banned him.

The nickname of the person was Viper, so perhaps it is the former Anti-Graalian.
