Silkroad Online Forums

I got an email from SRO_Joymax@yahoo.com saying that 5 people reported me using a bot client (which I didnt do) The person said they are [GM] Tarkey and that they need my ID and PW to do a account inspection. Is this real or is this a scammer trying to steal my account? If it really was a SRO GM wouldnt they be able to get my ID/PW without asking me for it?

DONT give it
sro would be able to get it. this is a scam

post this in General Discussion too. ppl might want to know this.

Thank you cin. I figured that much. Right when I had received it I sent them an email letting them know im not falling for that. And then mentionted that if they are really a [GM] to contact me inside of the game through pm or message. I also guessed that SRO would already have that info or could retrieve it without asking me. The part that got me is that I dont understand how someone in game got my email address to begin with. I will go post this in general forums. If you know anything about how they might have gotten my email, pls let me know.

i already posted it in general discussion so no need for that.

and i dont know how they got your email. maybe from the forums (a lot
of ppl have their msn or email adress in their sig, like me) or they found
it in-game in a conversation or on a different way.

anyhow.. if joymax needs something from your account, they can take it.
they dont need your username and pass

Well thanks again, Too late though because I just now (before reading this) posted that in genral discussion lolol!!!! Oh well guess some poor souls will suffer dajevu.
