SarlaccCthulhu Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi everyone. Today I logged in and found 4 messages titled "Hi My Friend" or "Hello My Friend" in my mailbox, each by a person I don't know, and with one credit enclosed per message. I have seen them in the past, and have labeled them as spam every time, but they seem to be getting more and more numerous as time goes by. I was wondering if anyone else is seeing them as well and does anyone know what they are? I suspect some kind of scam, but can't prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeruleanNite Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 These are spam mails. They are trying to get you to visit the website they have listed in order to get you to buy credits for real money. Best things to do is report these in game.

If you see any more, hit the Report Harrassment button instead of the Spam button. As far as I know, they are in direct violation of the EULA.

Amonette Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yup, flag and delete. BioWare have a large team of people dedicated to getting rid of goldfarmers so point 'em in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macabakur Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 gold farmers, if you've played any other big mmo, it's nothing new. ignore them and report them as spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatghost Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 OP isn't the only one. Much worse lately for me as well in regards to this issue. It's like they just suddenly emerged from the woodwork en masse, a few of them with the "Hi" subject line but the majority claiming "My character has been deleted" or some such nonsense. They used to trickle in but this past week has seen a deluge. Do goldfarmers hibernate? It is springtime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
