Another Important Reminder! Please Read!

[Kelsie]

We just had another case where a poster said to PM them if you want Inferno! Once you send the PM, you will be told a lie that the poster can give you Inferno if you give them your user name and password. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS! You know it's not true and all that will happen is you will lose everything you've worked so hard for. They will immediately trade everything you own.

We are trying to keep up with this but we can't be here 24/7. Please be responsible and never give out this information to anyone.

Again??? Such a shame!!

Remember everyone DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD to anyone! There is NO SUCH THING as a program that will add things into your invetory... only HOSTS and VMK_ folks can do that, and they DO NOT need your password to do it.

If it sounds to good to be true.... it is. Really.

(((hugs))) to DISers....

Let's stick together and nail these idiots. Please forward all PM's (and emails) to our hosties with the mosties.... Mal or Lori or Webmaster Kelise...

Truly disappointing. People trying to rip-off others just for their own pleasure.

 

[BriarRosie]

Yes, please don't believe anyone who posts through fan groups, as staff
can put items into your inventory WITHOUT getting your personal information!

This is a scam I don't think many will believe, but I hope people will read this
beforehand.

 

[VirtuallyMe]

Yes don't fall for the scams...

(just a friendly bump since this was down the line when I read it...)

I got this e mail today. Her brother works with a tester and all he needs is my info so he can put inferno in my account.

 

[BrittnTylersMom]

The bloomin' scallywags!!

I would never fall for this, but thanks for the heads up for those who may!

I got this e mail today. Her brother works with a tester and all he needs is my info so he can put inferno in my account.

they would only need your username now because now it's done throught vmk staff has a special like program in vmk that's exclusive to them and they find your name on the list then click on it and pick what to add/remove from your account so they never need to know your password

For whatever it is worth: Thank you for everyone posting these warnings. I never would have thought I needed to worry about getting taken for what truly is a computer graphic.

Today I did my first significant trade. It involved a large quantity of items. I never would have realized the issue of over 15 items if it weren't for reading things posted here.

We had a CL_ help us with the trade and all went smoothly. However, I can very easily see how it could have "gone bad" with the wrong parties involved. (Please note: The other person was from this site, I believe fully trustworthy, and we both ended up happy. I am speaking of what I now realize COULD happen.)

I just appreciate everyone's education here. All went smoothly this time, but and by following good advice, I hope will go well every time!

Thanks for the education!

Taking this back to the top! Remember: NEVER GIVE ANYONE YOUR VMK SIGN-IN INFORMATION.
