    Default Scam Mails

    I received the mail below in-game on one of my servers and it is obviously an attempt to get my account details. I have reported it, but just posting it here as a warning in case anyone is tempted to reply. Name of scammer has been reported to the real Evony team.

    Hello,

    As you might have heard or seen in the Forums
    1 in 5 people have a virus in their evony account, and we believe that you are one of these people.
    I assure you there is nothing to worry about but we need to stop this virus, and in order to do so, we need you to send us you're account details so we can fix this glitch. Simply reply to this automatic mail you're account email and password.
    Sorry for any Inconvenience caused.

    Best Regards
    EGFT (Evony Glitch Forum Team)

    Remember, Evony will NEVER contact you ingame. Nice job noticing it fast though.

    I didn't know if I was going to laugh or cry... Or both! lol Oh memories

    But yes, thanks for reporting this letter is going around. Phishing mail is a common way to get into games like this.

    first time I have seen "your" lengthened, usually it is the other way around. Of course it is not real evony mail, no mention of how to pay for "Free (tm)" items

    Why are scammers so bad with grammar?

    Quit Evony (and Forums) 8/18/2010
    Periodically returns, but spends most of time on reddit.
