If you are in Scania, you have probally seen DrBlaze asking to buy level 20 accounts for fame mules. He offers to pay first and most people see nothing wrong with the picture. But, sadly, it is not that simple. After he recieves your info, he will use that email that you provided to get the info to your real account, and change your password. He has been scamming people now for about a week. I was angered with his actions, but, my friend just lost his account, and that was going to far. Do not fall for the DrBlaze scam. This may be happening in other worlds, but, I only play in Scania so I cant confirm that the same scandal occours in other worlds. The biggest problem I find people have after they lose their account is not knowing how to approach a Gm with the problem. This is a basic outline that you can log a ticket with and hopefully, you will have positive results. I will leave blank spaces where you fill in your info and provide your story. I wish all of you people that have lost your account the best of luck. Dear Gm, recently I gave a mule account to ______. Within 12 hours of me giving him/her the mule, my main account was taken from me. He/She used the email I provided with the mule to take my real account. They were able to retrieve all of my info and change my password, rendering me unable to get a pin reset. To verify that the account is truly mine and I deserve the ownership of it, I am able to provide all of the nessary information. My information is as follows: Username: _______ Old Password:_______ Pin/Old Pin:________ Birthday:________ E-Mail:_______ Secret Question 1:________ Secrey Question 2:________ I hope this information is enough to prove that the account is truly mine. I am quite upset about this because I worked very long and hard on that account. I now know that what I did was wrong and foolish but I see my errors and will not make them again. Please help me to recover my account from ______. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Laox said: "He hacked your friend, so he has gone too far. You're shallow." Right? I can't stand people like that.

Laox said: "He hacked your friend, so he has gone too far. You're shallow." I wouldn't exactly say his actions or intentions are 'shallow', simply because his friend was affected by this whole mess. Isn't it part of human nature to act when something hits closer to home? When you've experienced something yourself, or if something unfortunate happens to someone you care about, the drive to do something about it simply increases. A lot of things happen in this word for precisely this reason. Perhaps 'shallow' isn't the word you're looking for. If he were truly shallow, selfish, and non-caring about the general population, this thread would not even exist. Thanks, TS, for the heads-up.

If you people can't figure out how somebody is doing this seriously...its not hard to do and his "hacking" relies on the account holders stupidty. I'm sure not ever mule bought that main acct is hacked. Its a very simple process. No thinking at all. At least there's only one way I can think of this would work. 1.you sell him a mule account. 2.sometime during trade the he gets ur main account log-in. 3.he pays u.he gets your info for ur mule. Now here is the stupidity of it. The majority of people use the same pw/pin for everything. So they won't forget. 4.logs into ur nexon account(main) using the pw u gave him for ur mule. Stupid! you used the same pw! 5.keeps pw the same so u think everything is fine. 6.retrieves your email from the method of retrieving lost emails. 7.once again tries the same pw for ur email as your nexon log in. 8.logs into email. Changes email pw. 9.requests pin reset followed by changing ur nexon pw. 10. Ur account is now gone. No email. No nexon.net.

Ok, for the doubters, here's two possiblities. Both have their faults and bad judgement on the owners' side, but bother possible. 1) The people could have made accounts using emails like this: MapleACC1 AT NOSPAM whatever.come , MapleACC2 AT NOSPAM whatever.come , MapleACC3 AT NOSPAM whatever.come , and used the same PW. 2) People can do the same thing for their maple information and use very simlar logins and PWs.
