Maximor Skill Level Six	Posted - 2008.06.13 11:27:00 - [8] Bump for visibility. I haven't received this email, but phishing scams like this are no joke. Good catch BTW.

Jolliejoe	Posted - 2008.06.13 11:58:00 - [12] It is in my nature to not trust any mails that have such poor spelling and grammar but thanks for the heads up! :)
Drizit	Posted - 2008.06.13 12:21:00 - [13] Edited by: Drizit on 13/06/2008 12:21:48 Good advice for ANY email. Never use links in emails that take you to sites requesting ANY login details. Be it your bank account or just a web site forum or anything else. ALWAYS use verified bookmarks that you have made yourself or type the URL in manually. Since a lot of people stupidly tend to use the same password and/or username for their banks as they do for forum pages, ignoring this advice could prove financially fatal. To the OP. I hope you forwarded the email to CCP so they could trace the scammer. They have more resources to take possible legal action against these sites than you do.
Staggerr	Posted - 2008.06.13 12:32:00 - [14] Thanks for the warning. I gave them a comedy account/password.
Bethesda Vortarhiat	Posted - 2008.06.13 12:34:00 - [15] Funnily enough that website is owned by the same people who just bought the EVE-DEV domain.
Schani Kratnorr x13	Posted - 2008.06.13 12:38:00 - [16] Originally by: Staggerr Thanks for the warning. I gave them a comedy account/password. Someone should write a bot to feed these sites bogus information 24/7 :-D

Layla McScout	Posted - 2008.06.13 12:49:00 - [18] If you received such an Email then you committed one of those critical error in keeping your account safe. NEVER EVER use your primary mail account (the one you used to create your Eve account) to sign up to fansites, forums, guild or other Eve sites. I generally use 3-4 dummy mail accounts which I use for such things. Should I get any fishing mail then it will rot in the inbox of those accounts until hell freezes over. P.S.: This is a copy/paste answer from another thread with the same topic.

Funny if ppl cant difference beetween owner and registrar.. you failed
Captain Falcord The Python Cartel	Posted - 2008.06.13 13:07:00 - [20] Originally by: Staggerr Thanks for the warning. I gave them a comedy account/password. Don't do that. You may never know, that might actually be someone's account and pass :P

Mr Phogel Wanted Men	Posted - 2008.06.13 15:34:00 - [23] http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=795391The issue allready got CCP's "awareness". Anyway Bump to the top
Shanur Republic Military School	Posted - 2008.06.13 15:36:00 - [24] Also remember that no MMORPG that takes itself seriously would send out an all customers mailing containing the grammatical errors of a non native english speaker (which this mail clearly has). That in itself should raise the alarm bells and prompt you to use your own bookmark (or type the bonafide part of the shown address manually) to verify the mail's authenticity. I'd think most RMT effrots would have moved to AoC by now though. Originally by: Malcanis Too many people confuse "Waah, I didn't get my own way" with 'poor customer service'.
