Midori Meets a Gralat Scammer
I was walking around the map today when I saw a player making a very generous offer to "hack" all of the gralats in my farm into black gralats. This is what happened next: The following is taken from my video description: WARNING: Never trust anyone who says they can "glitch" or "hack" all of the gralats in your farm into black. This is a scam to steal everything inside your farm. (I cut out parts of the video where nothing was happening while I waited for him to type his replies. This explains why he appears to type so quickly in the video.) How this scam works: The scammer offers to "hack" the gralats in your farm and turn them all into black gralats (worth more than 9000). However when you invite them into your farm, one of three things can happen; 1. Your farm is empty - The scammer leaves and never talks to you again. 2. Your farm has unlocked gralats - The scammer takes them, leaves and never talks to you again. 3. Your farm has locked gralats - The scammer tells you that you need to unlock your gralats in order for their "hack" to work. You unlock your gralats, and they take them all, leave and never talk to you again. There is no such thing as a "black gralat glitch" or "black gralat hack", never trust anyone who tells you they can do it for you. Always remember to lock any gralats in your house or guild house by double-tapping on them (you will see a message stating that the gralat is locked from visitors or everyone). UPDATE: As you can see from this video, I reported this scammer twice with around two minutes' time in between each report. Staff have failed to respond to both reports, and I can confirm that this thief is still out there stealing gralats. He is not the only one, there are many other players who use similar tactics to steal from other players' farms or even take your entire account, and they keep changing their looks and names to make it harder to catch them. Don't fall for their tricks. |

Thanks, may tell me how do I join a guild now? Seriously, and not even hating but your post are going downhill, not those "interesting, enjoyable" posts anymore, more like useless and kind of a joke.. a bad one. |

Tbh, people stupid enough to fall for these tricks deserve to be scammed. It's only karma for someone that wants to exploit to get unlimited gralats to have it stolen. I don't scam, but I don't have an issue with stuff like that. |

Ikr I thought it was a very well designed maze,and was funny trying to watch him try and figure it out.
To Midori: You handled that brilliantly. How much real time elapsed through that whole thing? I hope they hire more gp's soon so they can deal with scammer's like that guy. |
