Do not give out your account email and password!

**Rusalio** · 04-07-2011, 03:12 PM

I find these threads very amusing and as comically as twink put it, funny enough to laugh myself out of bed to knock over the candle that caught the cat on fire who ran about the house setting it ablaze

On the serious side of the house, As an older player(father 40+) I work IT security for a large fortune 100 company, we even have adults doing this sort of crazyness. Granted this is a game, for you Kids and adults out there, an account that is shared, can often lead to someone taking over your email accounts and then exploiting other systems( facebook, utilities, banks acct...etc) that might happen email your account

Parents/adults - teach kids some cyberethics.

Kids - See the following

This is coming from a security analyst thats been there done that. Be smart about playing and interacting with people you do NOT KNOW.

Watchout guys there is someone saying "You Tube contest for 1000 Platinum!" I checked to see if it was real and he said "all you have to do is say hello in french" so I said it and then he said "Yay! you won! all I need now is your account password and E-mail so I can put the platinum onto your account!!! Yay!!" Sounds to me like a scam... his/her name was "Kausahandez"

**llothlarian** · 06-09-2011, 06:15 PM

Speaking of banning, I got nailed because when I type like on my Droid incredible in a hurry, I hihit k not l Ike. The rracial.slur hasnt been used in 50 years, and they wanna imply im hating Jews. Really ticks me off. Allow for.spellimg issues with touch screens.

Well said Rusalio! As a fellow infosec guy (I presume we are both (ISC)2 members? CISSP?) at the program level, I endorse the notion that the first $.40 of every dollar of security budget could best be used on awareness. Humans are the last line of defense, and the most intelligent security countermeasure in existence! Education is the key. Current events make a great conversation starter - e.g. the Hackerazzi thing in the news now. I can't believe celebrities these days would use such weak passwords or challenge questions - but thanks to them I have material for my next bulletin!!

A rep boost to you my colleague!

Nope even if you're quitting... It's against the terms. Check out my reply to your original thread should hopefully clarify it all there.

Yep it is still against the "PL laws".

Even if you let your friend use your account.

**lilgangster** · 12-05-2011, 11:19 PM

I have a question. Im not to clear on device bans? Cuz me, my cuzin, and my uncle enjoy PL. we have no intent on breaking the rules, but sumtimes ill let them use my phone, or vice versa ill use theirs. Can this result in us getting banned? Cuz he has his account logged in on my phone. Then i jst log bak in mine. Any help is appreciated

**razerfingers** · 12-05-2011, 11:40 PM

Is using your dads tablet and gaining access to his unregistered acc to gain a few kills in pvp considered account hijacking? If so i wont do it again lol :P

Hello,

I was playing pocket legends and heard a possible (or definite) scam. Someone named Spacetimeon (sounds official) said to get free platinum, go to this website www.pocketlegends.yolasite.com

Of course I checked it out, because they made it sound official. I went to the website and it says pocket legends free platinum, has Gameforge and Gameloft symbols pasted with no trademarks. It does not say Spacetime anywhere. It asks how much platinum you want 100, 300, or 600. Then it asks for your email and password. And nothing else. I just checked again and it changed. The logos are gone and the font and text has changed.

I just thought if this is a scam, which it seems to be, it may possibly fool many people. Best to report it. I tried to send him a friend request and report him personally, but he did not respond. If there is an easier way to report please let me know. Someone else tried to buy my account in pm chat, but I unfriended him and disappeared before i could report him.

I got the most fail scam. This lvl 1 came up to me and told me to change my face, becauz he was against ducks and wouldn't tell me why. Who hates ducks? Anyway I told him I didn't have 10 plat so he said his dad owns pl and he was gonna ban me frm the game I muted him and told him I was gonna report him. He left fast and he was gone frm my ignore list, so he probably deleted his character
