Scammers...

  One of my guild mates posted on our site the following, so be aware of it.
  
  For those that dont know
  Recently people have been found impersonating GM's and asking for personal account information
  to 'check for gold buyers and modders'
  Do NOT answer them, simply block them/blacklist them
  
  Real GM's do not need to go directly into your accounts since mods are based on your Comp and Nexon staff can just check transaction databases if your buying gold

  Scammers are worse lately :S I often get those ".tk" links that look like the nexon website and you can type your username/pw in them :S I never go to websites with ".tk" at the end and I honestly never was stupid enough to type in my Username/PW but yea I even got them from ppl I know for a long time like 3-6months+ :S Scammers fail

  Yea. Honestly, if we kill everyone who gets scammed, we'll get rid of all the scammers in the process :D

  How amusing.

  It's hard to believe anyone would really believe it. But even smart people could fall to it, they are just "new to the internet". I introduced MMORPGs to a few IRL friends, and they got scammed one time for something silly like this, they are not stupid, they were just too innocent, having no idea what evil lurks on the internet.

  I like how every word ending with an S had an apostrophe.

  Tbh, those .tk links aren't invincible. On firefox/chrome, just open the page and click view tab.

  But that kind of thing wouldn't come as a surprise from Nexon 8D

  If it's from nexon and didn't have typos I would find it suspicious.

  This.
  
  Half of what Nexon posts is either copy/paste from earlier or they just half-assed it.
  
  Or, in some cases, they use google translator.
