Hey. I'm here to warn everyone of Scania that there is a fake GM going around with the IGN of VoredashSCA. He chat invite's specific players that can benefit him rather it is equip-wise or level-wise. This fake GM first targets you by formally introducing and talking in-depth about the issue, he then obtains your email through chat and send your an email from service@nexon.net . The sender from Nexon is a secretly masked email, and it tells you to send your personal information to an unmonitored email account called GM.John@<Not Nexon.net> VoredashSCA : Hello, this is John from Nexon America Inc. It has come to our attention that your account is having issues connecting to our client server database. We should have contacted you through email. but your email was wiped from the data base due to this issue. If this issue persists, your account will be unaccessible. We would like to clear this up as soon as possible. Yeah, he has targeted my friends and I. But we all told him off, he completely fails at in-depth tech help and thinks you need personal information to verify that you are the user of the account; even though you can just re-verify your email through the Nexon home page.

Well, if people would be smart enough, they would know that GM's don't ask for Emails or anything else of the such.

I've seen another thread about this. It's another person called "NXJason". But seriously; "[MapleTip] A GM will never ask for your Password, ID, and personal Information." So That person just fails.

Anyone gullible enough to have their account stolen by this twat would have had it stolen at some point anyway.
