Bank alt scam

[locutusofworm]

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

hehe, nice idea.
but the "old" scamming still works:
