Damn you OvA stop trying to steal my account!

 

[Steven]

[99.vikram]

The trademark and registered trademark signs are nice touches
The whole format is almost believable, except Valve never does this.

 

[Cormeh]

What was the address you received it from?

 

[Maxi]

And they misspellt Trial...

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Original email is [email protected]

Valve use Yahoo, eh?

 

[Reginald]

And they misspellt Trial...

I was just about to say, A BETA TRAIL? :O

 

[Ruubie]

Haha I saw this earlier on the SteamPowered.com forums... I feel bad for those poor souls who give their passwords away

 

[Cormeh]

FREE TRAIL VERSHUN LOL

Pffff, this is pathetic. I hope Valve initiate swift and rectally painful retribution.

Let us know how you get on Ultima.

and what abt the registered symbol shown near episode two ???? don't they look a bit awkward.

 

[TaoFan]

Feeble phishing attempt.

The fonts look terrible, the spelling mistakes, the dull picture, and most conspicuous of all, the text at the very bottom is crooked, as if it were scanned in. They didn't even bother to retype it!

I get these all the time, from Paypal and eBay impersonators. What I do is if I find one in my email, I click on the email to see the full message, then i hover the mouse over the link to "confirm your details", and check the URL on the bottom of the browser window. Fake sites are easy, as they usually originate from SE Asia, for some reason.

If I feel really annoyed, then I'll click on their links and type in false details and insults into their forms.

bad impementation of spam !!!!!!!

 

[Eejit]

OMGZ you are so lucky! I want to be in beta too!!1

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Who would fall for such a thing, eh?

[The Fitter]

Feeble phishing attempt.

Just to let you know that clicking on a link in any one of these fake mails and typing f**k you as a password or the like may seem like a fun way to dish out a little revenge, but as soon as you do this it alerts the prats that send them out that this is an active mail box, and you will be targeted all the more.
Annoying as they are just delete them.

 

[Tyguy]

And they misspellt Trial...

haha

 

[Hypnosos]

Haha... "beta trail version"... nice one there.

 

[Ravioli]

OHH OHH, I WANT, I WANT!!!! Im sending my information! do they want my "secret question" too?

This will be so cool! CANT WAIT

 

[cojawfee]

It's obvious that we are going into the woods now. There will be two versions. One is more difficult, and there are no trails telling you where to go. The other (that you have been chosen for) is easier and has a set of trails that will take you straight to every required location.
