In many of the oriental countries {especially South Korea} , it's just as illegal to scam in game.

Umm, no, but they treat it like RL crime, with jail and fines.

Thumbs Up Stupid scamers... LOL

Another jerk who tried to scam me wanted to just give away all her skills to me for free. She didnt want to play anymore.

She asked me to give her an emty skill implant and she would fill it with all her skills... about 87K and i would be VERY happy, she said

Sure baby, stealing lollipops from small kids is one thing you should stay to instead of trying to steal my empty skill implant.

was scammed

Yes i'm pissed coz i was scammed yesterday like that...with ESI
They took from me a 610 peds ESI (it can worth even a bit more)
a 106 peds tt esi ...

The stuff is that teh scammer took the account of my friend so i trust !! i thought really it was my friend...

SO carefull people with even ur friends it can be a scammer hidden ...

Now im quite broke this stupid scammer stole almost all my peds it was my first hoff peds...and we can't do a thing
those scammers are stupids they don't have bollocks they need a comp to steal from you they should come here IRL ...

Too many scams like that exist I think that the safety security stuff in entropia should be increase coz gold card its not enough !!!

Not Entropia's fault here at all. Always get collateraleven from friends. Don't loan stuff unless you're willing to give it and lose it.... you learned the lesson the hard way

Gl on another hof soon!

Tracked down this one?

Tonight I had a PM exchange (logged) with an avatar that I witnessed dealing with a known hacked account, then admitting to taking and using a login and password from a stranger. I also watched as they quickly put some rifle skill on auction - I have screen shots showing the before and after scanned level of rifle skill on the hacked ava (correct me now if I am wrong?).

This avatar stated that they are a pilot. This seems very strange to me. If I had a significant capital investment in this game, I wouldn't do risky things that might get my account locked. The act of logging into the account of another avatar, even if only to !!!! it for skills, is against the EULA I think (I haven't read it all either I think). I wonder if MA overlooks this activity for all players with such a large investment.

Viva Entropia!

Do scans show skills now? Before VU 9.0 they were only showing the professions.

A few things to clarify there:
  • There is nothing wrong in logging in to someone else's account if you have been given their username and password. However, the EULA states that the actions of the avatar are the responsibility of the original owner, so there is no use protesting the stealing of skills or a lock on your account if you have given away your security details voluntarily.
  • Stealing of accounts is wrong and MA will take action if they are aware of it. However, MA are not psychic. Even if two accounts log in from the same IP address, there is nothing to prove that someone hasn't visited a friend's house to log in or handed over their security details to another person voluntarily. If you have evidence that the account was stolen then submit it to MA so they can investigate.
  • Being an investor is no protection from getting locked out of Entropia. There is a high profile case where a few Land Area owners are currently locked out.

I was really just questioning the state of mind of a obviously invested player who blindly took over and started harvesting skills from a possibly stolen avatar. I realize he might have not had an ESP moment and was unaware that there was anything strange about someone giving away an avatar with possibly 50k total skill points.
