Today I received my first email spam/scam, where someone was attempting to get me to turn over my Aion account information. Remember these things, to protect your account/investment.
Someone at 211.56.231.224 has reset your Aion Game Account password for account mjbradvica. If you did not make this change, please login support ticket system: https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/plaync_login.pl Submit an Emergency Ticket.
Now in this case, the link actually links to a remote site. I have disabled the actual link for your protection. The return address showed correct, and except for the link.. and the fact that I am used to checking for scam emails, some of you might not know what to check for.
Here’s a quick run down, of things to watch out for…
- ALWAYS check to make sure that when you hover over a link, that the reported link shows the same as the actual link. In Firefox, and Internet Explorer, you would simply look in the footer of the browser.
- Make sure the link leads to the official game site, and not another hosting company.
- Check very carefully the domain name. Often a scammer will misspell a domain, and hope you don’t catch it.
- Check for spelling errors. It is not uncommon, for spoof emails to come in with many spelling errors. Game companies hire people to make sure they are error free.
- There should be graphics in the email. No self respecting game company sends out plain text emails anymore.
- An official email will ALWAYS mention either your name or account name in the email. If it leaves this information out, or puts sir/madam, it’s likely a scammer trying to get your info.
As a last reminder, it’s best to type in the domain name yourself. If you want to go to ncsoft, then type it in the browser url bar. Clicking links, can sometimes be disastrous.
