I will NOT list the website. But you will have people PMing you. "Visit XX site to claim free mounts and artifacts".
The people PMing you will actually be decently geared (15K+) so it looks "legit".
There were already two victims, now you're awared.

The chance for anyone to answer one of those messages is pretty high I guess.
victim blaming...
Maybe if criminals took responsibility for their actions instead of blaming the victims, we would have less crimes.
LOL - those darned gullible victims are the blame for crime! I get it now . . .

This isn't victim blaming , I hate scammers and account thieves and their like but I can't even imagine how naive somebody would have to be to fall for something like this .
More people need to look at the forums.
Honestly though... being caught in something like this.. The NW community is hilarious.

Excellent. I've sent the hamburger by Western Union transfer. I look forward to receiving the account details and also the multi-million dollar inheritance from my newly-discovered Nigerian uncle. Seems it's my lucky day. Now, if only I could find some way to get hold of a university degree, a driving licence and guaranteed larger, erm, "implement" by the end of the week....
The fact that I get and laughed at both these references has made me feel ancient.
Criminals do actually, it's called jail.
Also, riddle me this, for these people to be victims of this scam, did they actively do anything that made them vulnerable/a victim? If they did not do said actions, would they still be victims?
Why yes, they went to a website given to them be a complete stranger claiming to give them "free" items. It is partially their fault whether you want to call it "victim blaming" or not.
Well I hate to say it because like I already said I hate scammers and rip off merchants as much as any legit player but if people are really falling for this nonsense then maybe they deserve to be blamed , like seriously let's look at this for a second -
1 - Following a link to a site that is clearly not official
2 - Giving their username to the site when asked , fair enough you could argue that the site might ask for this to mail the ''free prizes'' to the person but still it would make most people wary .
3 - Giving them your account password , this is the ultimate one , lets get real here ,if somebody is idiotic enough to do this then I'm sorry , maybe they deserve to learn a nasty life lesson and be blamed , wrapping them up in cotton wool and mollycoddling them and blaming everybody else apart from the person themselves will not do them any favours in the real world where falling for this kind of stuff could be a lot more destructive..
Huh...I re-read that closely and you're right. It's both the fault of both parties, but to suggest it's not the scammers fault and blame the victim 100% is in fact moronic.
LOL! That is too funny! And I really did laugh out loud!
