As seen on this locked thread.

Basic way this scam works:

Actors:

1. Person
2. Partner
3. Alt of Partner

Partner is not happy with Person, Person is not playing game so much for various RL reasons. Partner wants to go have fun elsewhere. Partner notices he/she has full mod rights to Person.

... scheme ...

1. Partner makes alt (6/6/6 magic)
2. Partner gives full mod rights to alt.
3. -multiple
4. alt takes all objects.
5. Partner makes a post on forum about how some person ripped him/her off
6. ??
7. Profit.

Ok, I've observed this happen in other games, such as Lineage II. Thus this is not a new scam. C for originality.

Credit goes to Margaret Mfume for noticing this might have happend there. --might--

Thieves always find a way.
