We even have signs around the place warning people about it. It baffles me how people can fall for it so hard that we actually need to do public announcements and ram the warnings down their throats.
Ah yes I think we talked about this the other day ingame. At least I think that was you!

Yeah that's the thing, they throw out bait to as many people as they can. They only need a few bites. It's like how scams for real money in the real world work. Of course you know you're not the next of kin to the Nigerian prince, but someone somewhere might think they are.
