what i can never understand is how certain people end up getting scammed.
if you are a person who, say, is middle ages and WoW was their first ever mmo and thinks that the previous window is lost forever when you open a new one and that a megahurt is something you get after falling down a flight of marble steps, then in those circumstances i can understand said person giving up info about their account and also (LOL) their credit card details.
but you are an internet junkie pepped up on goofballs and capslock. its literally impossible to spend any amount of time on a gaming forum without hearing some kind of sob story about an account getting stolen or "hacked" as people like to call it. yeah, if i only discovered the internet right this second i could be excused for thinking that the definition of the word "hack" is "ask for someones most confidential data in a nice polite manner".
hmm... i forgot what i was supposed to be talking about in this post now. oh well.
Hack would be making a REAL external device and infiltrate your wireless network -> your PC and start the PC without you knowing, get your passwords and taking your account by force.
Account info is one thing but you gave your effing credit card info? I'm sorry that's just downright unbelievable...might as well give them your wallet with your ID and any passports you have while your at it lol
On the subject I have actually experienced having accounts "hacked" or stolen or whatever before...lost about 200 bucks and steam wouldn't give me the account back. Some random dude whose email I actually had at one point and emailed him trying to figure out who he was but it wasn't anyone I knew...so yeh...
