hey guys, if you are one of those people who plays swtor and actually enjoy it... Becareful! Some guys are sending fake emails with random information like you are in trouble because you did this, or you won this item, login if you want to retrieve it... etc...
The problem is that this emails are not legitimate and had nothing to do with bioware or EA... This emails use bogus non official customer support addresses but they look real... "swtor@swtor.com" lol!!!!
A few things that really got my attention was the fact that the mail was in my junk mail, the claimed that I was trying to sell my account when that wasnt true and when i hit the link, the address on the top bar was a bit messed up... On top of that clicking in any link in that page redirected me to some sort of Korean or Japa

WOT Spin Game

ok, so apparently I was signed up for this site previously, and I had 1 gold coin from whenever that was, so I swapped it for 1500 MMO coins, and also completed a couple of the newbie quests like respond to two forum posts.
Anyway, that spinner crap is rigged as far as I'm concerned. You could spend hours a day on this site just trying to navigate it trying for coins, or I saw a link to buy them with real cash, then you get a spin on this little wheel for 3 prizes.
I spent the 2000 coins I had on 20 spins without a single hit. If I hadn't had that gold, that would've been 15 less spins I could've taken.
The odds of winning a virtual item on a game that costs nothing to give out don't seem to justify the amount of time it would take to get the items, as far as I'm concerned. If you had a 1/5 chance, yea it'd be worth sitting on here for a week trying maybe. But with odds higher than 1/20 I won't be wasting my time trying for any more.
Good luck!

Eve Online: Virtual Bank Robbed!

Top Executive steals from Eve Online's Virtual Bank!

Ring the alarms! Ready the plasma cannons! Keep your purses close! Eve Online, the popular MMORPG set in space has just been scammed. By one of their own top executives no less! The scandal has hit the game hard, leaving the virtual Ebank inoperable and players scrambling to get back their deposits. What will happen to Eve Online's economy? Where did the money go? Who exactly stole the goods? And can we learn a lesson from this fiasco?
Eve Online's virtual economy centers around the Ebank, which players go to for loans and deposits. The Ebank has grown substantially and organically due to the demand for larger space fleets, better equipment and more ships. Up till the robbery the Ebank had accumulated 8.9 trillion ISK from 13,000 accounts that belonged to 6,000 users.
Apparently, with the booming success of the Ebank, a top executive known as Ricdic (emphasizing "dic") decided to cash in on the success. An unknown sum was taken out of the Ebank and reportedly sold for real cash to a separate third party, a black market if you will. He's been booted from the company but I personally hope his ass

Throughout my game experiences, I have saw and heard many different kind of scams. I am going to talk about five different types of scams that I have experienced and how can you prevent them
Stall/Trade Scam

Stall/trade scam is one of the most common scam on the game. Stall/trade scam is when a user or a vendor is offering an item for a stated price and sending you a different item of lesser value. There is epic item on sale. The seller is telling you how great it is and giving a great price on it. During the trade, you are giving the seller the price that you discussed with him but the seller immediately changed the item that looks like the epic item but it is just a plain item. Always check the status of the item before you click on the "Confirm" or "Ok&quo
