Scam ? Careful!

Post by Grafi »

Dear Community,

Today i was contacted by a Novice called "Adaptability To Problem" he wanted me to come to an empty place and talk to me so i followed because i m a nice guy. Then he made up some glitch in a chat window that it looked like he Wrote as GM Oreki but i knew that trick and played along. After that he contacted me in discord with an Account also called GM Oreki and showed me a Screenshot of him and me in the chatwindow and he was not a novice on his screen but a GM (that can be done by GRF modding). He asked me if i want to be a GM and i declined cause i knew thats a scam DONT FALL FOR IT
a Gm will NOT contact you ingame for that stuff EVER.

Hi Grafi,

Thank you for reporting.

The player seems to have been just messing around, no one should fall for that, but he still broke our discord server rules and disturbed others on PM:
5. No impersonating other players or staff. Punishment for this may extend to the game.
He has been banned on discord and in-game. I hope this serves just as a warning since he was just a novice on a newly created account. He's welcome to join again with an other account /no1

This person is essentially impersonating a GM. He tried it on me too with an acolyte named Kill Target On Sight and also attempted it with my friend.

Same thing with me too - the acolyte named Kill Target On Sight. Said he was GM Oreki, wanted me to be a GM, directed me to a private discord chat, everything the first post said above.

He's now impersonating other players too, saying "Hi, I'm <other people>, blablabla". The kid has wild imagination /heh
