Common Scammer Ploys, Beware of:

[AlphaGeek]

As a newcomer to Entropia, you should be aware that since the PE economy is linked to the Real World economy, vile criminals have made their way into this corner of cyberspace. They want your money, and they will stoop quite low in order to get it.

Protect your virtual property, and your Peds. Beware of:


People offerring armor upgrades. Armor cannot be upgraded.

People who say their trade window is buggy, and want you to put yout PEDs or items on the ground in order to trade with them.

Email that asks you for your account name and password.

I should mention that by far and away, the residents of planet Calypso are honorable and honest. As with any situation, keep an eye out, though.

Hope this helps someone!

Agree with Kygon, maybe like a pop up for new starters lol.

Then again, I hate pop ups...

Also beware links to websites people give you. There are fake sites made specifically to put a keylogger on your computer.

While such warnings are posted often, it's one subject that needs to be kept "in the news" so to say.
Consider this a free bump.
