    Lets see....STO has an official shop. You got a mail for an unofficial one.

    What do you think?

    Sure, they totally won't steal your credit card, or sell your cryptic account to someone else.

    Also, it's a great idea to support gold farmers, so they can clog up the game and ruin any group activities.

    That was sarcasm. Don't be an idiot, don't support criminal gold farming scammers.

    Plus all you risk losing is your entire account cause PWE/Cryptic will Ban you if you get caught buying it.

    I think it's pretty safe to say the answer is "highly likely not safe".

    Plus, encouraging these guys by throwing money at them is bad for the entire STO Community.

    Exacrtly. I am seeing more and more of these spammers with real names as opposed to the rubbish they come up with, even more so with the @handle which tends to be mixed nonsense letters.

    My suspicion is that these people bought from the spammers and got their accounts compromised.
