Recently when there was a survey taken out by sts.Taking the advantage of this, Another survey was created by a scammer replicating the same like STS' one. The only difference was the FAKE survey asked for email id n password to get plat. Someone from our guild fell for it n lost his account. The scammer kept advertising it through scammed accounts unless we came to know about it and he got kicked.

The strangest type of scam/fraud i have ever seen.
A piece of advice, just enter the surveys/contests which are officially announced by STS

It is true, low level characters are targeted a whole lot more than end gamers. When the third person in 10 minutes tried to sell me an account the other day, I got fed up.

Seller: "buy my account"
Me: ....let me see it.

Seller parties me and meets me in Brackenridge forest (where Shazbot witnesses countless scams daily). A pathetic looking baby rogue shows up.

Me: So you're selling this?
Seller: Yup. Don't want to pvp anymore.
Me: How much do you want for it?
Seller: 100k in gold or items.
Me: So you want me to give you 100k and then you give me your account info?
Seller: No no. This is how it works.
Seller: I give you my email address. You check that is real.
Seller: Then I give you HALF my password, you give me the money, then I give you the rest of the password.
Seller: See? No scam!
Me: Screenshotted and sent to STS. Enjoy your ban for account selling.
Seller: You feel good now noob?
Me: I will when another of you is out of this game and no longer ruining it for people.
Seller: Fk you noob.
Me: Have a nice day.


Remember kids, even if selling accounts wasn't against TOS and bannable, someone giving you an email address and what they say is half a password, is the same as giving you nothing. When you give someone something for nothing, you will almost always get ripped off,
