There is someone running about posing as me asking for passwords. DO NOT Under any circumstances give him your password. I nor any other real member of the UR staff would ask for your password.
If you receive a message from anyone posing as a moderator, and they ask for your password, notify me or another Moderator/Admin immediately and we well take care of the individual. Please don't delete the message from your inbox as we can use that as evidence.
While the person posing as me has been stopped for the time being, if you receive a message from Storm Wind Evo that is NOT me. As I said before, I would not ask you for your password and do NOT give this person your password.

Adding to this list are StormWind EV0 (with a 0) and StormWind both are already blacklisted, but there will probably be more. If they do not have a Moderator tag they are not me.
We are working to get this individual under control

We're working to shut him down. We've already blocked 3 accounts he's created and hopefully soon will put an end to this nonsense.

Lol...we should all keep a lookout. I doubt that StormWind here will be the only victim of "Moderator Identity Theft" =)

Thanks to Moderation for warning and taking care of that guy. *sigh* ...I hate it when people do things like this.

As an update we've identified who the person is and they shouldn't be causing any further problems. While some other yahoo might try this in the future, (though we certainly hope not), the best rule of thumb is not to give out your password to anyone. It's not a new scam by any means where someone will claim to be staff and try to get your password.
I can assure you that here, no real staff member will ever ask you for your password.

FYI - this isn't the first time that this type of scam has been attempted. There have always been people who try to get everything from nothing - even though this is just a game, that is the same kind of scam that can lead to identity theft in the real world. My dislike is for people who try to take advantage of others, whether they succeed or not and I'm happy to see that the administration and moderators of this game feel similarly.
BTW - I'm curious to know why you would want to defend them, Lilking.
