| Guilds got scammed. How to evade it? An old scam that I thought isn't so common anymore has been becoming popular lately.
I don't play retail anymore, but I heard the whole story from my friend who I used to level with. His guild was scammed hard.
The idea is to make a character whose name is like <Guildmaster>bank while you know that the real Guild Master is offline and for how much time so that you can act.
The scammer then marks an officer of the guild and whispers him, and eventually gets into the guild with this false bank character. Then the officer promotes him after an explanation from the scammer as to why he needs a promotion.
And then he goes in your guild bank and takes everything he can.
That's how my friend got scammed, I thought you should know. Tbh I've used this scam but I thought it wasn't so popular anymore. I guess it's gaining population again. |
