Gone Phishing?

[roc_strykr(N/A)]

Alright, so looks like Strike of the Phishing sites has struck again.

Last night, apparently Lostboi was acting wierd, PMing Lyrika and LilSting noticed something. (Ask LilSting for more info)
Anyways, Lil was posting saying that a site was going around, and it was another phishing site.

I wish the story ended there, but at some point, Marabouts was on, but it wasn't Mara; he got scammed. (How, I don't know, probably by phishers)
What I first noticed is how Mara just incinerated his Blood Stem Hat, failing it to +5, when before, he used holy water.

Next he was saying that he was quitting, and then started to swear, and diss people and then himself, which then became obvious he wasn't Mara. He was shouting "selling Blood Stem 200g" "Selling 2 Crit Silk Armor 200g" and all these other pretty high-worth items for 200g or lower. Now I don't think he sold em, but the person on Mara, starting to cuss himself and diss the guild, said he wasted 1.8 mill and couldn't wait till Mara comes on....

Now this is messed up how this keeps happening, and what is the point of phishing someone? It fails and all you do is ruin their experince.

Anyways, I'm hoping our guild pools cash for Mara to help compensate. Because 1.8 mill is no laughing matter, and the fact he was scammed.

1.8m really isn't THAT much. I don't understand why the guy who hacked him through phishing didn't just take his items, but decided to break/give them away for basically nothing. I'm going to be honest here, if you're stupid enough to fall for a phishing site, then well yeah...

It is human nature to be destructive, especially when bored.. and young.. and know people will fall for it..

It happens.. just don't be a moron and fall for it. xD

What exactly is phishing?

[DonBurns99]

Setting up a fake website that (usually) mimics a real one.

It requires you to enter your email/username and password, in order to steal the information.

Notnuty is the new owner of Lostboi (?)

Yea there is a new owner of LB, but yesterday Lyrika pmed something wierd, and didn't quit understand, and LilSting was shouting something else. Ask LilSting what made her say that, but apparently someone was pming some people about a phishing site...

As for 1.8 million, I wouldn't be happy if someone stole all that. Heck, I wasn't impressed when I found part of my items were gone, but I did get em back xD May not be much to you, but think about what you CAN do with 1.8 mill, and now its all gone
