SCAM In-Game Mails

[elgringobonito]

Players are now impersonating Nostalrius staff in in-game mail to scam players out of gold. The in-game mails look incredibly legit and purport to be returning money to a player due to a server error with the auction house, when the scammer is COD-ing a [Plain Letter] to the recipient.

The in-game mail takes the following structure:

FROM: Nostalrius (spelled with a barely-noticeable accent over the i)

RE: Auction House

The body of the letter looks very legitimate and claims to be from Nost staff returning money due to an internal server error with the auction house.

Attached is what looks to be cash, but is actually a C.O.D. for a [Plain Letter].



The character that sent me this mail was named Nostalrius, spelled with a symbol similar to i. Please look into this and the IP addresses where these accounts originated/logged and ban that IP address, if possible. Just giving a heads-up to the community.

Same thing happent too me, i lost 4g 98s or so and when you get the Plain Letter from the CoD is from a guy
called TheCuntHead
and the Main Letter is from Nostalrîus
I also totaly fell for this, it looked legit enough so didnt think twice before clicking it.

Hi there,

This has already been dealt with and the player has received a permanent account closure.

Thank you for letting us know.

Kind regards,
String
