Hello,just asking if anyone's been scammed on anything and someone has their account information,
It happened to me I was scammed on World Of Warcraft by an person who was an fake GM(Game Master) and asked for my Username and Password since he/she thought I was hacking,after that I found out it was my friend and changed my password,but have you ever been scammed on anything?

I believe there are messages that tell you specifically "do not tell your username or password to anyone claiming to be a GM! it is a scam!"

As long as you learned from your mistake ^_^

Me, well, I've never fallen for it, but I see it happen every day. As a valient Runescape, Guild Wars, Gunz: The Duel, Dofus, and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory player, it happens so often, I'm surprised people still fall for it, when there are literally messages everywhere telling you not to.

I am a very suspicious person by nature, so I am very careful when it comes down to disclosing any of my personal information especially when it involves the internet.

That would explain your username...

EDIT: I agree with you. It's not a good idea to give away personal details on the net. Look at what someone posted on my site: http://dcforums.awar...116f81b9aa18f9f

I once (or twice) had my email hacked about 5 years ago in 6th grade. The #@%Q@#$^T@%$^@^ in my grade sent some spyware to my computer, no idea how, but my computer got REALLY infected and porn sites came up all the time. It took a couple of months (maybe years, can't really remember) to get rid of most of the spyware, but the computer never returned to the same way it was before.

Without knowing what actually happened it is hard to say, but it is likely it was not the person on your contact list if it is someone you know, but rather someone who has taken over that person's account and is using it to SPAM and attack others... I suggest you contact the person in your address book directly if you have a way to do so since it is likely that person doesn't know his/her computer has been hijacked...

Never ever in my life have I been keylogged or scammed for anything, I've always been a careful person, reminding myself constantly not to believe in people's words too easily. I'm also careful about going to certain sites which seems suspicious, and I would always do some research before I enter the site.
