Anyway, I'm not sure if SE can take care of it. Impersonating SE staff/GM in-game is a bannable offense, but in this case it's done on an external website.

Youd be surprised. Ive worked for “the” company that makes phones and probably your watch, for a decade and ppl get phishing emails asking for peoples Social security #s, and something like 80% of the geniuses enter it in then call us asking why the password reset page says error on it.......

DERP

Even more hilarious when ppl try to argue with you over the error, and totally ignore theyve been duped into entering in their info refusing to believe its fake lolol

People paid money to watch a CGI version of the Lion King that was almost entirely a word for word and scene for scene copy of the Original. annnd you're asking how gullible people can be?

This is why the Crown Prince of Nigeria still requests assistance on a daily basis. There will ALWAYS be someone who'll fall for it.

For scams, I mean. The Crown Prince is totally legit. He's a pretty awesome guy once you get to know him
