Warning -- Hack Messages for Aion

[Awryt]

Be warned, there are hack messages going out for Aion as well now. Interestingly enough, I don't play Aion, have never played Aion, and don't have an Aion account. It appears that these folks are targetting anyone who plays any MMO in hope they play multiple games.

Why can't people at least put a LITTLE bit of thought and effort into their spam? I mean, like, type it up in word and run it through the grammar checker or SOMETHING.

I'm betting that Engrish isn't their native ranguage.

they don't so much target you as send e-mails to every mailing list they can get a hold of. It's just fishing, use a big enough net and you'll catch something.

"...and hope they don't have blasters!"

[Zanathos]

That isn't very reassuring.

I checked my junk folder on my hotmail account and found a couple more wow ones, and this same Aion one. And I don't play the game either!

That's just.. wow. Absolutely special. When I get messages in game (in Aion) like that, they're usually poorly written like that. Sometimes the people are all nice about it and try to dupe me with sweetness. Poorly written, mangled sweetness. It makes my brain hurt. But a lot of people aren't..intuitive enough to realize that NCSoft employs people who are actually literate.

Seems like they have found a way to get all our e-mail addresses from Battlenet.
