ATTENTION! Apparently there have been some people falling for some impersonations in chat in regards to who is staff and monitoring trades. I'm going to be perfectly clear on this so pay attention damn it: ALL trades are to be done in the #help channel in chat. Not through messages here in the game, not through emails or Instant Messaging - in #help chat only! All staff members in #help chat will have a golden star next to their name and also have the vhost "staff.mafiacrime.org" To view a person's host/vhost - simply left click the person's name on the right hand list, then click "whois" - it may take a couple seconds but a new box will appear in chat like this: [IMG]http://images.mafiacrime.org/i/chatexample.png[/IMG] Help us stop scams by using your head and common sense before giving away password or payment for accounts unless you are sure that a staff member is present. To take this one step further, if you are still unsure of whether or not a person is a staff member, simply ask them to message you in game. If the message comes from a player that is on http://game2.mafiacrime.org/staff and are either a GM/E-GM/admin you should have nothing to worry about. Use your frickin' head. - That goes for both those considering scamming and those that are looking to buy/sell/trade accounts. Cheaters beware - we see everything, and our gravity hammer is just aching to be swung. Have a great day! [IMG]http://images.mafiacrime.org/h/banhammer.png[/IMG]
