- Saturday 31/01/2009, 02:39There are several websites out there that promises to give you free clintz, cards, or credits in exchange for your username and password.
here is an example (it was from a Spanish website, translated to English)
Urban Rivals
We have developed a program to create clintz (Urban Rivals of money)
but we have decided quedarnoslo us and not upload to the site by
people who may be abusing the program.
If you want to get clintz free all you have to do is put your data in
the form below with the amount of clintz they need, five minutes later
(which is what it takes to run the program) will have as many as
clintz have.
But there is a ceiling can only be put up 10,000 clintz per day (that
is so that there is no much difference between players of urban
rivals not being noticed much difference).
Username Urban Rivals
Pass Urban Rivals
Number of clintz necessary
-this thread was made to inform you that never under any circumstance do we here at UR would take your username and password for any reason.
-such sites are not from Urban Rivals and it is no way attached to us.
-we do not promote websites such as this and we strongly do not recommend it.
-if you post your Urban Rivals username and password in such a website and you get hacked or the website owner steals your account, you do so at your own risk and we will "NOT RETURN" your losses.
-this is a website likely created just to steal your password.
-for questions and concerns, please contact any of our game Moderators.

Here are screenshots of a FAKE UR HELP SITE claiming to help players but of course you should know by now that it is a fraud:

One look at it and you know that we do not use the currency "money" in here but rather it is called clintz. We also refrain from using wrong grammars in our game's rules, faqs page, etc. By now you should also be very well aware that there's no such crappy thing as an Average card pack, Veteran card pack, Epic card pack, and a Legendary Pokemon card pack. We also do not use "gold" as this is not Diablo, we use clintz as our currency. And again, as I said before, we do not promote outside sources or sites which asks for your specific UR username and password. That website above is a website used to steal your password and there are other such sites existing. Once you type your username and password there and submit it, you automatically gave someone access to your account. And again I will remind you that we will not return your losses if your account gets opened through this means. We will not be held accountable for your losses. Your own greed will be your downfall if you fall for traps such as this.

There has recently been a surge of websites popping around being sent by players and people who are imitating staff asking for your username and password. THESE ARE SCAMS.
Again and again I am telling you that such things are dangerous for your account and we will not return losses if you readily hand out your username and password to such scams.
here's some of them
http://equipeurbarivals.weebly.com/
http://www.free-raffle-ur.team.st/
http://www.tombola-ur.team.st/
Again, be advised, these are scam sites. We are already on it and we are in the process of tracking down the people who are sending such messages to other people promoting these sites.

There has been a huge rash of players falling for a scam of their accounts/password - I would like remind everyone of the warning that is written at the top of your player mailbox:
Important! NEVER give out your password to another player. Help us fight account thieves by notifying our team. Be aware that genuine staff members will never ask you for your password.
For those of you that have fallen prey to this scam, all is not lost (at least your account is not lost). The scammers only have access to your account because you provided them your password. If you change your password, the scammers can no longer access your account. Change your password right away if you feel that your account may have been compromised.
The staff have been working hard on this problem, but it is up to you as players to help us, by NOT giving out your password to ANYONE and reporting any suspicious behavior as soon as possible so we can jump on the situation.
I have been giving every player giving out links to one of these a Hefty 30-day black-list. It is not really meant as a punishment as the players that send them as the links are being sent out the scammed players now. The black-list is for 2 things:
1. to prevent further messages from being sent out, so that the problem doesn't go any further
2. to protect your cards - cards cannot be put on the market when you are black-listed
When you have reset your password, contact support and let them know. They are the only ones that can verify that your password has been changed so that we don't have a continuation of this problem.
And one last think in case you forgot:
