Beware of jerks trying to get your account details!
 
You all know it, I don't need to say it, but I'm going to anyway...staff will NEVER ask you for your password! You'd think the losers who send out these phishing PMs would know that by now, wouldn't you? :roll:

Anyway, a few things to bear in mind:

Staff names are always coloured, like so; Administrator, Assistant Administrator, Moderator, Event Coordinator, Developer, NPC or Staff Envoy. There are absolutely no exceptions.

Don't be taken in by names with prefixes such as [MOD] or [Staff] or anything like that, these people are trying to scam you!

This is more for the new guys who are coming in via Tektek of course, as phishing attempted are pretty prevalent over there and people are maybe more likely to be afraid that they're real. But we are proud of our record on here, this kind of thing just doesn't happen on Mene, unless we're advertising on Tektek and drawing the attention of cheaters xD
Those phishers think they'll come and try their luck on our site...bad idea kid, you're banned!

We've only had one idiot try it so far, we might be lucky and not get any more, but forewarned is forearmed, right? So, if you get a PM telling you some BS about needing your password and email address, then please forward it to either a moderator or an assistant admin who is online at the time and we'll kick them to the curb for you :)

Even anything that says Account Manager, Surveyor, or even User helper in the title are all lies. If they do not have bolded/colored names. They need to be reported.

Have I said recently that I love menewsha and its staff?

So caring and always on alert.

Siri 08-06-2009 06:31 PM

I'm glad there was only one person so far.
I was so shocked to see something like that on Mene. ;____;

Oh gosh that's terrible.

That actually happened to my friend on Gaia a couple days ago (and she was stupid enough to send her password).

But thankfully only one person.

Winterwolfgoddess 08-06-2009 06:36 PM

And with their super hammers, the Menewsha Staff save the day once again. xD

I almost wish no more people would come onto the site ~.~ I haven't been on for about a week and then when I come back there are sorta...noobie people around, and people are trying to steal passwords! *flails arms* What is this world coming to?!

Bannxored bitch D:<

Remember everyone to report these to online staffers so they can be taken care of with a swiftness. <3

Winterwolfgoddess 08-06-2009 06:58 PM

Well, this happened last night and it was taken care of pretty much instantly.
The faster you report if you see an incident, the quicker the response.

FelineOrchid 08-06-2009 07:02 PM

:rofl:

Omg, really? Someone tried this? I bet you they just changed where they put Gaia, and put Menewsha without changing the year. :lol: Oh, lawd...this made my day, n00bfail...

Don't worrys, I'll report any fail person who might do that, I did report a troll already, and he was handled. Yay for Mene staffsu!!

Wendy Darling 08-06-2009 07:07 PM

Thanks for the alert to everyone, guys. I know better, but some newer users might be ignorant on how staff are recognized.
