Recently, I received an e-mail from [email protected]. I'm 100% sure that this is a scam for several reasons, that are listed in the middle (in red).
Here's the orignial e-mail:
"We are only letting a limited number of members test this so dont give it out. If we find out you did you will be banned.
Let us know how this works. Also scan it if you want no virus"
__________________________________________________
By them referring to "..scan it if you want no virus" they are referring to the attachment in the e-mail.
I'm not exactly sure what the point of this is, maybe it's a keylogger or something like that. It may also be the Jackals targetting me (recently I just scammed a "Jack Pot", if you will humor me.
So, as I said I would earlier, here are my reasons for thinking this is a scam:
1. My MD account recently got banned.
2. I recently scammed a lot of people using this e-mail.
3. This e-mail is for my youtube scam vids.
4. The e-mail isn't formal or anything like an e-mail that a professional (at least MD thinks they are, and try to act like it) company would send.
5. Why would MD (the owner of Shattered Crystal) give people a free game card generator, when they, themselves SELL wow game card codes. They wouldn't. Which is why this last reason is the biggest piece of evidence that this e-mail was sent by a scammer of the Jackals.
Also, the reason that this is in the scam section is because this is a really good way to scam people.
I'll elaborate on the scam here:
Requirements:
1. Knowledge of professional, proper english.
2. A way to spoof your e-mail to make it look like it's coming from an account trading website (markeedragon or egamingsupply for example).
3. Make a professional e-mail advertising something (in this case, it's a game card generator, which is a bad choice since most people know that no such thing exists). My personal suggestion would be a version of glider, that is on the beta stage. All you have to do is download the attachment into your wow addons folder and you will get a free beta version of the new glider package. Say something like "It's undetectable since with Wotlk out, the WoW security servers and game memory have a flaw. Take this chance as soon as possible, who knows when this will get fixed! We'll notify you as soon as we find out IF this flaw gets fixed."
4. Send the e-mail and instead of having the program that you advertised, have a hard to detect keylogger, or some sort of other virus/program that you would like to send them.
5. Enjoy seeing the target suffer as you learn everything they type on their computer. This includes, but is NOT limited to Wow accounts, e-mail accounts, markee dragon accounts (some may have nice rep), paypal accounts, and much much more. You could easily get access to their BANK accounts.
Please, discuss
