The Fake Xelous's

I am interested in the prospects shown in EverQuest Next, I've even dabbled with signing up for the Beta, but I really can't dedicate the time to it, I can't even find that much time at the moment to do any gaming in my own time - three hours this week and I only got that by staying up way longer than I should Sunday & last night.

Anyway, just now I did pop over to the SOE site to sign up, and god damn it, but someone already has my handle.

I hate it when this happens, some douch who is not Xelous has the name Xelous.

There's a lot of yanks doing this at the moment, for a none-sense made up word I came up with on Yahoo in 1997 its really annoying that other people use the name now.

But anyway at SOE, I thought no way have I missed signing up as myself on there, so I sent out a series of request my password resets, to my various xelous related e-mail addresses, to see to which I might have signed SOE up to.  None came back.

So it must be some fake douche bag out there pretending to be me.

Fake NC-Soft Account E-mails

I'm sure all you lovely, non-existant, reader type people out there are smart enough not to fall for this one, but there is current'y a fake spam e-mail making the rounds perporting to be from NCSoft.

The e-mail uses quite bad English, to try and accuse your of having been identified as using an out of game money service.

Here's a snippet of the stupidly bad e-mail:

"When you receive this message at the same time means that you have a routine account of our recent examination, was checking your account we have the evidence to prove that involved in the controversial game currency transaction so we had to take the necessary measures.

Please visit our web site [Fake URL woz 'ere] as soon as possible to activate your account or we will suspend your account."

That is pretty much how the mail appears in your inbox [or spam box], except it's not in italics.

So, don't fall for this silly scam, and scammers, learn to speak the lingo before going solo.


Soon to come, a new post about my adventures in getting to grips with DDO.

And I'm also playing another F2P MMO again Runes of Magic. Which I first had a play of back in September 2009.
