I've been on an MS hiatus for around a month now, and i just got an email an hour ago saying the following - Hello. This is John from Nexon America. The Staff at Global Maplestory are giving away Free Wild Wolf Bandanas, obtained with 100 Perfect Pitch Points. The season being is that the event is ending on May 15, 2010, and we realized Maplers wouldn't have enough time to achieve level ups gaining 1-5 Points, so we at GMS decided to send E-mails to every active player so they can have a chance of receiving one before the event is over. First we must verify you are the owner of the account. Please email me back at gmsglobal.john@gmail.com with the following information: Username - : Password - : Birthday - (Eg. 1991-08-31): PIC Pincode - : Last Name - : If you do not have any of the above listed information, fill out as much as you can. After that, you will receive another email, with instructions stating what to do next to receive your Free Wild Wolf Bandana before this Spring Event ends. Please be aware that you cannot reply to this email, for it is unmonitored. To reply you must do it at gmsglobal.john@gmail.com Also, please copy down the reference number below in the email, you will need it for the next step. Thank you for your co-operation. ref. EAP1415813 -GM John ----------- It's obviously a fake, but I was wondering if anyone else received this email too.

that was almost perfect. i know a guy who can change the site it says for your email so maybe some day this will be a truly perfect scam.

Almost convincing scam, huh? Remember that GMs never ask for account information.
