Bank alt scam

This is in no way guaranteed to work but anyways...

A month ago, my friend made a bank alt called "mcbank" to keep his excess leather in. Since then, he has recieved several mails from total strangers, containing souldarite, arcane crystals, and boe epics!

why you ask?

my theory is that people are misspelling their guilds MC bank and sending expensive items intended for safe keeping inside the guild to my friend instead ;)

If the name "mcbank" or "zgbank" or similar hasn't already been used on your server, take it just in case :D

If anyone had luck, please report. Created now a mcbank (zgbank & aqbank already existed). Damn, really can't wait for a stupid one. Also can't imagine how anyone can be THAT retarded :D

Good luck.

btw, as a note if those names are taken try and spell it with 1 letter missing, such as aqban, not tested so dont know if it will work
