Hey everyone,
There's a scam being emailed around, which looks like this:
 Quote:
Another player is transferring the character Valdus Aldent to your account.
We are currently processing this transfer. The character being transferred will remain on the sender's account, but will not be playable until the transfer automatically completes.
If you are not the intended recipient of this character or are not expecting to receive a character, please file a petition to Customer Support.
If you have any questions, you may browse the EVE Knowledgebase or email [email protected] and one of our customer support representatives will be happy to assist you.
All the links, even the email, direct to http://eve-online.xxx.xx/ (I've x'd out some of the characters so curiosity doens't kill any cats)
This one seems different, somehow. It got through my Gmail filters, which have blocked countless other EVE scams.
Gmail now also shows how some scam emails are forwarded, to make it seem that the email is actually coming from [email protected]
Pay attention to the first line of your email: "[email protected] via mail.mgsul.com.br to me"
That via bit indicates fishiness.
Anyway, feel free to move or delete this thread if everything's already sorted. I received the email 11 hours ago, so probably missed out on all the fun 
Walk/fly safe!
