Congratulations.

I've only ever gotten one, like months ago.
But I think it's because I posted in a popular thread in the GCD or something.  

[Syphirone]

mine was just random. I was on the guild when i saw a new pm and there it was sweatdrop

Well, I accidentally fell for a Ripway link near the end of last year (I was tired and I saw a link that said something about a 5k Ninja Headband. I couldn't help myself o-o) and put my stuff in, and after I realized it was a ripway page I went over to change my password, and the day after I had been 'temporarily banned' for multiple password failures, so I knew my quick action had saved my hide there, and then since then I hadn't gotten one until yesterday (see *ahem* SCAM RANT! thread in the guild ) I hate it when it's REALLY obvious that it's a scam, though.  

[lilartichoke]

lol. don't give them ideas, Areku!!! And that's lucky that you caught it quickly.  

[XV - Shadowed Mistress]

Yeah, maybe I should cross out that part of the post xD (my mind is devious like that. I can think and act like a Hacker if i chose. I just prefer fairer ways of getting items. Like buying them out of the Cash Shop with Gaia Cash xDD )

I got one last week.I'll be a year old on August 19,and I think the scam PMs are funny,if you know it's fake.

Hi. Did you see the new promotion that the mods have put up?! It is a private announcement that only staff and staff members can give out. Yes i am giving it to you!!
Just click here:
THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED AND THE LINK HAS BEEN REMOVED BY BLUE Simply sign in there and a mod/other will view when they can.

I got a couple of those right after I joined. Which doesn't make any sense. I didn't have anything other than crappy items.

 

[Lord DemiBaal]

what losers make this crap up my god i wanna shoot each and everyone of them dead twisted  

[BlueAltitude]

at least you recognized it for being a scam, good for you. Some people lose their accounts over them...=/  

[Beyond Betrayal]

Beyond Birthday had the eyes of a shinigami since he was born.
He knew your name before you said it.
He knew the time of death of every person he met.

I think three years.
I was selling a pitchfork.
First and only xDD

...I hardly need to explain just what effect
this would have on his personality.
