Anti Scam guide : GW Submissions

Hi again,

This is not really a guide or an exploit. but its usefull.

like most of us know there are more websites like these. To get cheats and stuff.

Now this is to prevent that your acount gets stolen by some scammers.


Ok,

If you register, ALLWAYS choose another e-mail then you have choosen for GW, if you do not have any other. just make a new hotmail.

If you do not have time for this, at least pick another password then you use for GW,

if you are choosing a nickname, pick anything that has NOTHING to do with anything of you GW acount, (like E-mail, Usernames, Passwords, Etc.)

Last but not least, if they say you need to download this and that to continue your registration. i recomend not to do this, mostly it would be a keylogger:

a keylogger mostly does not get detcted by Anti Virus Programs so they can steal all your information, like passwords, creditcard number.

Trust me, my dad had this once and its not very fun ..

If you dont know what a key logger is:

this is a program that registers everything you type. and sends it to the scammer. so everything you would type, will the scammer know...


This was my Small Tutorial to prevent yourself from being scammed

Can premium members say yay or nay to this being moved to a confirmed section.

this is fairly common knowledeg, and using a different email wouldnt help if they have keyloggers......
/nay

I say yay this person knows what its like to be scamed.

this is true, but common knowledge is still knowledge.

And as for keyloggers, onscreen keyboards can fix those buggers, dont have a link but a couple of googles and you should be able to find an official microsoft one somewhere.

Here's a link to a free Email system/Proxy list if you're truly that worried.

Or you could just download a Keylog hunter from cnet.com and be done with the worries for good, either way.

(side note: I use both)
