Armor Upgrade Scams


Beware of impersonators and participants offering armor upgrades!

The Entropia Universe Support Department advises you to remain alert when dealing with other avatars. Recently, several participants have used the names of well-known avatars to scam less experienced participants. Another common scam attempt is to offer armor upgrades, where the victim is asked to give his whole set of armor to the culprit.

Errmm....

Bertha?

How many poeple you think gets scammed who ragularly visit EF? My guess is every new player that will get scammed will never even see this!

Why not an ingame message? I think it is great that this is done, but come on, you think this will help anyone from getting scammed? It might, but if new players heard a scamm provention sound file every so often for the first few weeks, this might help
