hey guys I just received a message in my mail box this afternoon, just warning you all to watch out. its pretty funny actually.

Sender: Thundaa
Title: NCsoft Support

"Dear eternal towers, your account due to suspected fraud. would be prohibited within 72 hours.
Evidence of fraud: using game several times in the game chat feature induction to provide games, cheating other players to provide an account and password. If you do not fraud, as soon as possible to confirm your account verified by secure.uknsoft.com "

[Sand Pickle]

Yeah, that must be a common one. I got the same thing about a week ago.
Dumb nyerks cannot pull off a sentence, let alone a scam.

[aga123]

Maybe oneday these scammers will at least try to learn english...

[enjin]

Haha yup. I love the use of punctuation in that message.

The sad thing is, it's quite possible that the player Blackmetal has actually lost control of his/her account so it's quite likely not the owner of the account who mailed you.

I noticed you play on the EU servers and there is a player called Blackmetal who has been utterly cleaned out by a hacker on Perento (see here http://uk.aiononline...ento/Blackmetal). If this is the guy who mailed you, then I'd say it's not him doing the mailing at all!

So damn sad. Poor dude who lost he as account :-/ I really hope they get this one and get the real Blackmetal hes account back.

Well, well, well.... looks like they finally found me! This was in my spam box this morning. Worrying detail: the English is actually almost correct, they're learning (even if only to copy and paste). The original sender, however, was a hotmail address in both cases.

I received this mail twice, one yesterday Saturday 17 April (title: Aion account warning), the second today Sunday 18 April (title: Aion account two times warning)

Morning,

Ok so I decided to check my Gmail spamfolder as I'm expecting a starcraft 2 beta key, and this is what I found:



The account thieves have really stepped their game up haven't they. I mean, 5! mails in 2-3 days time.. O_O
Anyone else experiencing this increase in phishing?

~Kal

p.s. I am absolutely disgusted by the 'new' layout

[Bt.]

The emails from NCsoft could be legit, they're pretty incompetent in managing their MMOs so i'd imagine their grammar isn't all that either.

[Malackai]

Idd i have noticed the same

in 4 years of wow and now with aion
i never had one single phishing email

and since the last 2-3 months i am getting at least 2-3 on a daily base
with the majority actually being wow mail

there all delivers on the wrong email address tho so they go instantly in the trashcan
there even marked as spam by my provider -_- its getting ridiculous

Hehe, I wouldn't know as I have been "out" of the aion community for several months now due to other priorities in life.
How's Aion doing? and I also noticed 3! new servers.. could this mean the community is growing?

[Fiets]

You're doing it wrong. I have 0 of these mails. So either you visit naughty sites or...

Negative. I'm not a retard with only half a brain + I work in the ICT industry, maintaining networks and troubleshooting.
So I know what not to visit, nice assumption though.

I didnt have any e-mails till the beginning of april, and during april I have not visited any unlegit sites or anything I would not have visited before, hell.. I've barely even been at my PC due to real life obligations o_o.

Just you wait, you're up next >

Mine has looked alot like that lately. All WoW stuff though, not NCsoft. But one actually managed to get past the spam filter yesterday so thats probably what their aiming at when sending out so many.

I haven't gotten any of those either, although I did get a legit email from NcSoft telling me that someone tried to reset my master account password.

[djnn]
