Hey guys!

I just checked my mail, and strangly.. on my gmail account, I got this mail from [email protected]

It says this:

Quote
Dear Paul We have see you almost everyday on Gta San Andreas MP. So i have ask the Company for something that we have almost never done. Do you want Gta 4 We can send it to you via Holland. For free only if you still a real GTA Fan. Yes : Mail Me , No : Mail me not Have a nice Day



Ok, now I am very curious... How they know my name "Paul". maby because the e-mail adress contains my name.. but even more worse... How do they know I am from Holland?!

Have you guy also got such mail? I am now very curious...

Even more so.. how do they know you play SAMP?

Im beginning to think its someone playing a prank, but the email adress is the question.
..Meh, well first thing is this is definatly NOT Rockstar Games. They dont send out emails like this, why would they. They are about making money, not giving away their games for free.

But, I think this is a prank by someone you know who also plays SAMP, as they know you play also.

It is your IP getting checked, You get that stuff in Advertisements to like (Free Car Tryout in Belgium ) --> How the heck it knows i'm a belgian?

Maybe you have an X-fire profile linked to your e-mail?

X-Fire... ofcourse! Forgot about that... I don't know if that is the cause..

And uhm... I never fulled in a e-mail in such advertisments, so they cannot know that I play SA-MP. I think it's just the way Miami said it..

A friend who I know also got it, we both are registered on the website www.gtaforum.nl, so I think it comes from there... or.. just from Argonath RPG, but he never joined the server or knows it he said (I showed it him one time before I got admin)

Get the full header of the email and send it to Gandalf...
And that is a fake... Do not reply him...

You found paradise in Argonath. You had a good game, you made good friends. The admins protected you and there were courts of law. So you didn't need a friend like me. Now you come and say "Aragorn, give me justice." But you don't ask with respect.

If they were Rockstar Games, their level of English would certainly be higher and the letter would be more professional IMHO.

Exactly what I was about to say. IMO the e-mail is fake.

You probably registered an account somewhere and gave them your name by mistake (or not?), otherwise they couldn't send you that..
In the future be smart and don't give away your personal info if you know that those sites are not trustful enough.

Every single time you connect to a website, your IP address shows up and it could be shown to a lot of people. Those people, obviously made a program that traces your IP (by IPtracker for example) and shows the information to them.
Having in mind that you probably placed your real name somewhere and had hours of played GTA:SA MP time in X-Fire, it would be quite easy to link all of this and just send a random e-mail...
My advise: do not reply, or write to them from a hidden email to go somewhere and blow their head off or grow up. ;)


Beware from the Wolf...
