| I usually go out of my way to avoid muting players. This one though, I particularly relished. Thought some might like to share the pleasure. lol |

| Yay go Treemaid, it was all on him for trying that on a Player Moderator. I got hacked once long time ago when I was still young, let someone use one of my alt accounts and used same password so I only blame myself for making a stupid error but learnt and matured since then.
When your young and new to this game you can be an easy target unfortunately =( its a shame people target young children on a game like this.
I remember quite a clever scam that was attempted on me but didn't work, I was training combat on main at roaches back when they were epic. and was doing this in the room with the chest containing 10k. 2 players walk in and ignore me are in their own conversation talking about a way to get massive amount of money from the chest. He goes to the chest there's a pause and then he goes crazy that ge just got 23mil from the chest. I tell him gratz and he shows me a cash pile and his mate says he can teach me how to do it for a mil. I assume that would have worked on some players they just do their own thing ignoring you and wait for you to come in before they pounce.
I laughed, told them nice try but nty and reported them. |

| Rad, that video is scary! That's someone who's obviously very security conscious, and his paypal password was out there? Matko, yeh, it's a shame it's the youngsters and new players who suffer the worst. One of my daughters got lured when she was young and a relatively new player. She was so upset with it, not so much because of the stuff that she'd lost, though that was significant (she was too proud to take anything from me, bless her!), but that she'd misplaced her trust in someone who seemed really nice and friendly, but had obviously told her lies and been towing her along. Those chest lurers though! Even though what they do is deplorable, you've got to hand it to them for ingenuity, lol! |
