I visit CNN.com and see a report about scammers in Facebook. http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/05/facebook.impostors/index.html.
It talks about how someone hacked the facebook account of a guy named Brian. The hacker posted in Brian's facebook that he needed money urgently for a plain ticket. A friend of Brian fell for it and sent the hacker 1k. The report goes on to talk how cases like this are becoming more and more common.
Now the funny part... in the CNN report, one of those examples of people hacking facebook accounts is and I quote "police accuse an 18-year-old man of posing as a woman on Facebook to get high school boys to send him naked photos of themselves."
Imagine if CNN reporters bothered to check out EO for just a couple of minutes. They would have a Field Day lol, with all the hacking, scamming and guys passing off as girls in order to scam is just the tip of the iceberg.
The report goes on to list ways on how to avoid being hacked or scammed, which seemed a whole lot like a list Wickedfrost did a while ago. Who would have thought that playing EO would help prepare you for real life... o.o So, whenever youre feeling down about losing some gold in EO, just remember Brian. ^^

LOL my favorite EO poser is Bellaleenda. She made a clone 'Mountiangirl' and she goes around pretending to be me saying I was hacked and begging for gold. The other day she was boasting she made 15 mil off the acct. GG Bella- don't spend it all on junk food.
