Danger Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Hello fRO Just quoting GM Genesis from like a year ago post: Quote Several players have reported some scammer going around trying to trick people into giving them their account information or sending them money. We will never ask you for either. We are currently not looking for any new GMs. If you are invited into a chatroom, take a look at the user list for the members of the chatroom. If a GM is not in the user list, he is not in the chatroom. What the scammer is doing is talking, then using spaces to make it appear as if a GM (or GMs) is talking. Also: he is trying to trick players to join fake discord server and/or install shady program to take control of your machine, do not fall on such tricks please Stay alert and play smart fRO Danger Edited June 12, 2018 by Moon 1
Penthesiliea Posted October 4, 2017 Report Posted October 4, 2017 There's a lot of player impersonating GM's lately, so please stay alert and play smart like danger said.
Moon Posted June 12, 2018 Report Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Hi dear fRO players, We have noticed that a lot of players have been falling for a scam where in someone would come in pubs or message you then add lots of space enough that it'll look like GM Genesis was the one messaging when its actually NOT. Like if someone enters your pub even if its a GM the name will always appear, if it doesn't then you should be wary. For private messages you can check ur recipient history (left box chat box) to see if a GM really pm'd you then the GMs name will appear , if not then its a scam plain and simple. We have been aware of this for quite a while but been wondering why people still fall for it despite knowing the tight schedule Genesis or any GM has. Look the Screenshot: So we would like to make a reminder specially to our new players that a GM would never go in your pub or message you just to give free items. We would never even try to ask for your account details since its not necessary , Genesis has access to everything including your accounts to prevent information from leaking. If you see anyone suspicious or doing such things then please take a screenshot and report to us. REMEMBER TO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY DEALS with such suspicious persons. May this serve as a warning to players and the scammers. Regards, Moon Edited June 12, 2018 by Moon
