CheesyDaedra✭✭✭I could see from 200 miles away that it's a fake GM, so try actually going to the page and submit random insults to troll the scammers, i love doing that.Edited by CheesyDaedra on June 23, 2014 3:35AMDo you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick, it's a very delicate state of mind.2 -
ZOS_MichelleA✭✭✭✭✭Hello there, @Lauranae. Please be aware that this is definitely not a legitimate message.

Awe✭✭✭Lol, even after our mods edited original post, the picture remained (same as game developers are fixing game), and it's obvious scam... from someone, who doesn't even speak english.0

Venithar✭✭✭@ZOS_MichelleA You should remove the attachment as well, as players can still click it and see the photo.1

TBH I don't see why it was removed in the first place .. an image with a URL in it isn't going to affect a visitor and if someone chooses to enter that URL manually then on their head be it.@ZOS_MichelleA You should remove the attachment as well, as players can still click it and see the photo.Edited by fromtesonlineb16_ESO on June 23, 2014 7:13AM0 -

✭✭My experience is that GMs do not send in-game mail, they use the /whisper function instead.0 -
Seravi✭✭✭✭✭Yeah any time a GM has contacted me in game it has been with a /whisper as well. You can also report the in game mail with the F1 and add a screenshot. This will send a screenshot to support of the actual email. Then you can go to your screenshots folder and send the bugreport.jpg through support on this site as well to ensure the proper folks have the info of the scammer.0 -
jacco_molb16_ESOSoul Shrivenwell not even the whispers are safe, i got an ingame whisper from a fake GM that directed you to a fake loginsite. in the whisper he sayd you have to log in there or youre account will be banned.
so i made an ingame report for it with a screenshot.
so beware of scammers.1 -

FYI, thats how they get you. Not just in game scams but other scams as well. They get you panicked so you arent thinking clearly.
