My sister got tricked and someone told her to go to ~removed~ and register for a prize, she doesnt speak english so good , and didnt think it was a trick so she did it.

now her account (both main and 2nd) were stolen and she cant log in to pwi or to game, someone please help.
she has been playing pwi since 2008 and charged a few 100 dollars , sucks that it all went down the drain now....

i checked the fake site and it does look somewhat like the pwi real site...

OTHER PLAYERS (NUBS + FOREIGNERS) PLEASE BE AWARE OF TRICKS LIKE THIS

    I guess if you don't speak english well and are on an english server, it'd be hard to know what they're warning about if you didn't have anyone to tell you what it said. That being said, I feel bad for OP's sister, but OP should of told her what the red text coming on the screen every hour meant.

    Send a ticket.

    And, in future, don't do things just because worldchat tells you to.

    What an amateur! They could have at least tried to make the screenshot of the official site work without stretching it out. Now the text is all blurry and nobody will fall for it! Oh wait...

    Which leaves us with the question: How can you even play well if you don't really understand English but are on an English server?

    Don't ask me, there's a lot of people who do it.

    I dunno either. I just know it's frustrating big time for both sides.

    And well, pwe can't really do more than spam warnings ingame. If people still fall for it they had it coming. b:cold

    Never ever put your PWE username and password in on any site other than an official Perfect World site. Note that PWE does not do "voting", and will not promise any special rewards just for logging in.

    Any offer that seems too good to be true, probably is.

    This is a cautionary tale... but I'm going to close it before the flamewars begin.
