Today this email address : administrator@silkroadonline.net added me on msn messenger.
She said : How could I say this. This is Jan 2nd Admin at http://www.silkroadonline.net

basically, she offered me a place as moderator.

The conversation ended in this :

In the email , you will need to send a email reply to my personal email account . There will be Questions about life style , Background and some account information to verify that this is you're account.

Apparently, i need a paypal account to receive moderator payments and should receive an email with information in 1-3 days.

We will see what happens, but this is obviously a scam.

If it was real it would more likley be done by phone/post, not emails, and they wouldnt ask for your login details

Ok, i was talking to her again today and i said i think it is a scam and i am not giving any information...

I told her to prove she was legit, to send a GM to where i was lvling.

Nobody arrived and she quickly went offline :roll:
