Known Phishing Emails

Q. I have been contacted by a GM outside the game but I am not sure if this person is really a GM. Can you help me?

A. GM's will NEVER initiate contact with you outside of the game. If you are contacted outside of the game by anyone with the name or anything similar it is not a GM but rather someone who is trying scam you or steal your account. If you are contacted by such an individual please immediately break contact and report the address listed or any other information to the bug report section under the Customer Service tab on the official website http://www.silkroadonline.net.

Inside of the game, GM speech will always be pink and their GM title will be in brackets like this: [GM]

il update this as soon as i know more

ps can this get a sticky?

In my opinion, it is good to know these e-mails. However, if we know that GM WILL NEVER E-MAIL YOU, it is not really necessary to know the e-mail. Once we saw it, we know that it is a scammer.

However, this may benefits to those who are new here or SOME BLOODY IDIOTS who believes them even after reading the GM's clarifications.

Good job Master_Wong

You could eather write down a whole list of e-mails, or just say that a gm would never contact you in such a way. I prefer the last one
