Fake System Message and Fake GM Message

Please remember that GM has [GM] at the end of the character names. Some scammers in game will create characters by impersonating GM or employee and use these characters to send fake system messages informing you that you have won a prize. The scammers will also ask for your account information in the name of confirming the prize winner. If you reveal your account information to them, they will log in and loot everything valuable in your account in just a minute. And remember that real GM will never issue such messages in game! And some scammers will also impersonate GM outside the game on MSN or by sending emails asking for account information. Please always be very careful about those unknown people especially those who ask for your account information. We will keep you informed on the game official site of any updates or events.

A Fake Official Site

Fake official site always goes along with the Fake System Message and Fake GM Message. The scammer will send you a link to a site that is similar to the Eudemons Online games official site in his fake System Message. Once you open the link, you will find that the site is similar to the Eudemons Online game official sites in design with fake announcements and even a so called "GM" informing you that you have won a big prize. Sometimes, these sites will require you to enter your account information to confirm that you are the valid winner. In other cases, these sites will tell you that if you want to get the prize, you need to send some money as commission to a required account. If you believe their words and send the commission to them, the so called "GM" and the link will disappear immediately once the scammer gets the money.

Recently, a new way of Online Fraud appears. The scammers don’t pretend to be a GM or a System Reminder to advertise their fake message everywhere; to the contrary, they disguise themselves as a normal player complaining about the game and a specific event. They will publicize in world chat their fake experience involving a mistake made when a GM gave him an invalid prize in an offline event. To make his word more believable, he will provide you a fake link (the link mentioned above) as the "evidence". If you believe in them, visit the page and, worst of all, try to get the prize they claimed, congrats, you are another victim!

Fake Friendship

Once you relax your vigilance and store larger number of valuable item in your account, they will throw off their disguise. So, never reveal your account information to anyone.

Impersonate Your Friend’s Character

Some players enjoy great fame and good credit in game. Beware, scammers also use this to cheat you! They will create characters whose names are extremely similar to those famous players’.

If you believe them, they may begin to tell stories of being hacked and ask for your help by donating items to them or giving them your account information.

Fraud in Account Trading

Fraud always occurs when purchasing or selling game accounts. Scammers in the former case will ask you to preview the items in the account you plan on selling to get your account information.

But after they get their money, they will use the password protection and account security system to get their password back from the system or file a hack case to get their account back. That is why account trading is not allowed by Eudemons Online games and is not protected by the game user agreement.

Fraud in Item Trading
