ok so this is just a warning... dont trust anyone even if they're on ur fl.. unless u can skype that person face to face or prolly call... i dont know how they're doing it but they found a way to use the "exact" name as someone.. meaning they're in pwi system also for all i know.. just be careful and anyone telling you to go somewhere else to redeem a code or for free GOLD is a scam. pwi dont give real gold.. if you get a random email. with a different user other than the peeps at pwi.. to make sure send in a ticket and ask questions if they say it's real then reply w/e... REMEMBER there's only 1 real pwi website and if that was to change think everyone would know.. keep it safe

    Exact name? Are you sure it wasn't one of those lowercase L/capital I things that people do all the time (among other ones).

    Granted, apparently people have been falling for a new phishing site and putting their account info there lately, so yeah that's bound to cause issues. You're right, though, that people need to realize not to go to these sites and that they need to remember that PWI will never ask for someone's account name or password. :/

    Just a technicality, but that's not hacking. It's called Phishing.

    positive. would post SS's but would be messing with privacy and all that but yes exact name no lower cases or nun. and maybe so but to me it's hacking.. i believe pwi made it that 2 people dont use same name for a reason n this is 1 of those i think. but before this goes on to far n alot of people got burn from it, thought best if i made a post about it.


    UPDATE: i just log'd in pwi, got a pm instantly.. telling me to go to : arcpwigold.com .. thought was random but wanted to test something so i log'd an alt.. turns out again instant pm.. idk what's going on how these people are doing this but they're good in the sense of scary and it's freaking me out.
