Give some of them a new brain, but that may be asking too much....hehehehehe
So there is a log that they can look at. Who is to say that someone can't jst go into their game and delete stuff and cry foul. I can see the scam now. Hey my account was hacked in and I lost every artie in the game please give it back. THX. Then the stuff is on ebay or a vendor a few minutes later.

They found out where the hack was coming from and warned people. That is more than half the battle. If you don't have a firewall/antivirus and other protection devices on your computer you are asking for trouble in general. If my computer got hacked UO would be the least of my worries.

If you GIVE someone your information then your account will get hacked into. I don't see how EA can help w/ that in anyway.

Why does the song "If I Only Had A Brain" from Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz come to mind... hahahaha I crack myself up sometimes. *giggle*

not just yourself

Was going to say, he sounds bitter

Apparently his vendors were also the ones in Luna which were wiped, along with all the other shady ones

Also bear in mind, he was the one reselling the stolen 90 day gametime codes a couple of years back from apparent russian hackers

All of those codes were invalidated by EA and people had to rebuy GENUINE codes or put their accounts on a credit card.

Just goes to show, karma sometimes works

He gets busted selling illegal codes, has his main account hacked and items stolen, now, I presume, all his stuff deleted by EA.

*attempts to hold back laughter*

Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

McGruff the police dog always said "Crime doesn't pay"

oops ignore this

I've come to the conclusion that anything Vita says or does is full of lies. He pretends to be a "honest broker" when everyone knows he's not. He's a fronter of duped items/gold, and always has been. He deserves to be fully banned from the game, and have all his items deleted. Anything he posts in relevance to UO is just him trying to win sympathy points and try to aim the blame at EA/UO so that some people disregard the fact that he is one of the main problems with the game(Exploiter, duper/fronter of duped goods).

Anyone who wants to believe what he says needs to realize one thing. He lies for a living. He makes money in real life selling items that aren't legit. He will do whatever it takes to make an extra buck, and doesn't care what he has to do to get it.

I do agree with Mercenary about Vita.

I almost got hit with that worm site scam at ominous.hq, luckily I realized what was going on and changed the email address associated with my UO acct. The name of the char used was llol and on a further note he is close friends with Xtremegamer on atl, whose old char (which was banned) was named Creed. There will always be scams out there and it cannot be stressed enough on these forums and other means of communication. Don't give out your acct info. Plain and simple. You will always get burned, so just don't do it

I have heard of Creed, always wondered what rock of a shard he hid under.

Yep it's probly the same guy. His old guild (which he used to scam players) was called Creedgaming. He also had a char for a while called Webdesigner. The guild he has now is called Activegamers and I have witnessed people in it getting ganked by other players in the guild. He is also friends with Rocky Balboa, a guild pk who frequents west Brit bank and preys on noobs.
