2. That format is f**king atrocious. Seriously, only a dumbass would truly think one of the best email companies in the world will use a format exactly like that.

3. F**king hell, is it too damn hard to use punctuation properly?

4. Bitch please, that paragraph spacing is terrible. In basic english class where you are taught to write letters, the spacing for sentences is the same.

5. Don't even get me started on that sucky outro. Would it f**king kill them to use the (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/Themes/Assassin/images/bbc/right.gif) button?

6. God damn, if I were going to scam some poor f**k, I'd put some effort into it. Maybe a little (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/Themes/Assassin/images/bbc/bold.gif) or (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/Themes/Assassin/images/bbc/italicize.gif) here and there, maybe?

I'd give it 0/10, but since they made multiple accounts just for this purpose, let's make it 0.5/10 for the effort.

:app:

Thanks Dell for bringing this to our attention. :)

For everyone else, please remember that a real developer or management team would never ask for your password through some other site's forum PM, or even in their own emails, as they can access your account themselves if they really ever needed to. Just like Argonath and ingame accounts.

Post by: Manoni on February 26, 2014, 08:48:11 pm: Lol what a pathetic attempt, why would outlook create a forum account to send a PM about their outlook accounts. :hah: Anyway thanks for letting us know.

Post by: CharlieKasper on February 27, 2014, 07:51:42 am: Suuuure the outlook team doesn't know our password and has to ask us for it.

Post by: Exterminator on February 27, 2014, 08:27:19 am: The team should send automatic emails to them containing (fake) passwords to every account they sent the message to. Let them eat spam :rofl:

Post by: Dean. on February 27, 2014, 08:47:37 am: the layout and words of choice in that letter are just sad. Using 'sir' is simply retarded as they can't know if the user is either male or female. The use of capitals in 'THIS' looks rather unprofessional as well.

On top of that, a sentence starting like:

sir pls y u no gimme ur pass

looks utterly stupid :lol:

Easy to spot fakes :D
