This made me laugh :)

So some guy just joined my guild, (i'll not name and shame as per the rules)...a minute later i get a tell from them, saying they were one of the officers, and asked to be promoted.

unknown to them ofc, the officer in question is one of my RL friends, and i was chatting with their wife, who is also in the guild. Its obviously an attempt to rob the guild bank, and it must work sometimes, coz it goes on a lot.... so if you are not aware of this, be careful....there are bandits out there, seeking ill gotten treasure at you're expense!

Yeah, there are a couple of notorious scammers out there operating like this. Zeb has included some info on how to recognize suspicious behavior in one of the stickies.
