Thread: DANGER WARNING! DO NOT go to the website a "ZIPPY" Account suggests in Email!

  1. #1

    Exclamation DANGER WARNING! DO NOT go to the website a "ZIPPY" Account suggests in Email!

    Just confirmed... There is a viral / SCAM going on with a poster by name "ZIPPY" who sends an email to an account piggybacking what is said about the Lady giving gems for Valentine's day. We have had 1 confirmed long time playing account who has been compromised because of going to the website suggested by the email. DO NOT go to any website that anyone suggests to you via messages on the mail system for TYNON. Tynon reps will NOT tell you to go anywhere nor will your guild! Please DO NOT follow those instructions. Delete such emails immediately and report them to tynon (though they're pretty much not going to do much but report it anyway)...

    This really sucks... there are few of us left as it is...

    have not gotten such email nor heard from anything like this from the guild or our server.

    PS: never give out your account info to anyone (consider the same for your email address you use to log into the game with)

    This affected Server 5 - not sure about other servers but the mails were sent to the main guilds in each realm.

    A couple of people in my guild have had there accts stolen because of this and while they have been able to get them back the person responsible has used all gems sold there armor and basically made there accts worthless.
    The person that made this mail is not a player on server the name Zappy does not come up anywhere it is why they fell for it thinking only tynon can send mail without making an acct was Tynon hacked?

    ps To all you people that are saying they should never have giving out there acct information, (hindsight is a wonderful thing) but in the here and now they have lost everything they have worked on, Tynon needs to do something about this.

    I got this one today on server6. It had a typo in the URL. HTTMP://music-fm.co.il/0015/attention! It self corrected to http. Went to an all Hebrew text music website. I didn't get any viral activity from the web page. I reported it to Tynon dev's as abuse. Several people in my guild reported getting it.

    thanks to your amazing security i lost all my gems, 300m coins and i can't bid for tomorrow where i wanted, Ucool is becoming a serious joke and i'm sick of it.
    i know that you guys just want to sit in the beach and zip on 20 dollars drinks cuz we're still missing 2 equips, 1 sub and new areas but at least you should be smart enough to protect your website against hackers..... let me guess... no compensation again,,,,if so XXXX you very much and stick the game where the sun don't shine
