PM Spammers

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Fri May 27, 2016 8:22 am

I was just notified of an account sending spam via private message, claiming the recipient had won a competition here. Please use common sense when receiving messages like this; in particular:

1. Don't click on links if you aren't sure the source is reliable. (Here, or anywhere else online.)
2. mafiascum.net has never had any contest involving a random drawing, much less a random drawing that you didn't know you had entered.
3. I really can't afford to send people free watches.
4. Official communication from mafiascum.net will never come from an unrecognizable username.

If anyone else has received a message like this, please notify staff. I have already banned the offending account (anuzapexiu), but there may be others.

The offending account will probably be a new account created within the last couple days, just something for everyone to be aware of in the future to look out for. I doubt any official announcements from MafiaScum would come from an account just created.

I visited you while you were daydreaming about a free watch. No one else came, because Titus is weird.

You got your free watch.... result.

Ok, obviously I have been missing the opportunity to have a donation drive with an Apple Watch giveaway if the goal is met.

I don't wear watches. Can I have the cash equivalent?

Mafiascum brand watches only have two times. Day and Night.

If your free mafiascum branded watch displays actual time, you have recieved a fake.
