Common scam in mmo's


the phantom roommate, brother, friend, etc

They can't give it back to you because they don't know where their brother put it.. and it would be impossible to talk to them >_>




Another scam is to fake your "death" for a clean slate because the account was "given" to a good friend or they had access to passwords or w/e.



The sell the account scam..

Seller later retrieves the account back with password recovery (or better yet on a server that doesn't allow you to change passwords like P99) or report yourself hacked.

or even a combination like dude it wasn't me who stole your stuff it was my (phantom) dick brother lulz.



Those are some common ones I've seen in various RnF forums.


I'm sure there are a few I'm not thinking of atm but w/e I'm going to bed ;p
