[ashley50]

I checked my email just now and saw this:

SEGA's joke or something?
Anyoen else got this by any chance? April's too far to make this prank mail.

[gundam0079]

i want me some meseta! lol

[Kizeragi]

Lol funny ^^

I dont think it's SEGA though. *points to e-mail address*
It's quite easy to make an address like that.

[ashley50]

heh oh well...it was fun for a good minute :l

[Cracka_J]

Yeah, sadly I had no HYUGAMAIL.

I was actually disappointed. True story.

[Emgro]

Moatoob is the new Nigeria.

I also got a Hyuga mail, but i thought it were a virus w/e mail so i deleted it without even opening it and not giving a second thought.

Like SEGA would do anything like that lol.

[Rust]

I got it as well.

I couldn't figure if it was a PSU parody of those mails asking for your credit card informations for some inheritance stuff from an arabian emir, in your super-far family, who just died ; or if it was some original way of preparing a kind of player based event.

Either way, I call it genius.

I was actually considering replying to the gmail address just to see what it's all about, I need something new to do in PSU (who cares about the meseta, anyways). Not like if they could get anything more than my email address they already have, and my name, if that's a big phishing fake, anyways. :lol:

[Dragwind]

Well, that's sure interesting....:wacko:

[Rust]

Well, I'm probably making that out too quick with so few feedback on this thread so far, but I think the sender is someone lurking on those boards.

I mean, all those who got this mail have a MSN Messenger address in their PSOW public profile. And besides Kiz, all those who didn't get anything don't have any mail address made public on here. Not without sneaking into their profile and check the Contact Info tab. (I won't go to check every poster profile on this thread to verify that. :wacko:)

Moatoob is the new Nigeria.:-D laughed my ass out of my chair

I got no doubts about that, but still..it kinda creeps me out.

[Alnet]

Aw, dood, I totally said something like this should happen in another thread where someone really did try to Nigerian Scam a PSOW member... :wacko:

Frigging awesome.

Heh, interesting email. Sounds like some one who actually plays PSU.

[Scythe88]

[hewitt]

I got it, too! lol XD

[Cracka_J]

Only 1 person I know that has that much worthless information about psu, and can write several paragraphs of nonsense like that without misspelling a word.

I have my hunch :)

Now, now. You can't suspect yourself. :lol:

[PepperCat]

I know who Cracka is referring to... it almost seems like too much effort even for him.

[Sinue_v2]

That's hilarious.

[AweOfShe]

Haha, what the heck? :lol:

[unicorn]

Yay! I got one! :D

[Alnet]

Just checked my email, I have it.

I had to tell someone about it that very moment.

[ParadiTester]

That's odd, it's definetely a peeping tom on these forums. x_x Funny thing too, because I actually know this one guy on PSU who roleplays as hyuga, not too sure though.

[Yusaku_Kudou]

Wtf, I didn't get one. :(

[PepperCat]

Wtf, I didn't get one. :(

Is your e-mail address in your profile?

What someone is likely doing is going through people's profiles and seeing if their e-mail addy is there, just grabs it and off they go phishing.

I just love people that do that. /sarcasm

[Noblewine]

I seem to be ok I just check and I didn't have anything in my inbox.

[Noblewine]

You need to have your e-mail somewhere in the site for someone to e-mail you :P


I removed it last year.

[zxeros]

XD Sound like something I would write but whoever wrote this is genius lol

[Zeal]

It makes sense, in a way, how they'd do it. They'd pretype the whole letter, then save it in a Word Document. Once they opened up the 'e-mail typing' spot, they'd copy and paste the whole thing, and send it off. But, why would ANYONE do that? What reason would that happen for?

BTW, just a curious note, do you think this person has sent it to only high level players? Most levels are seen in sigs anyway, right? Or on the profile. =/

[Mysterious-G]

I knew that Hyuga's AI got an upgrade, but wow... :roll:

On a serious note, that guy giving us a presumably real mail address at the end of the letter could mean that he intends to continue with this. *shrugs*

[Shinko]

I got this mail too. When i first seen it i was like wtf is this from sega. I read it but didnt reply back.... no telling what it is...

[PepperCat]

TBH if I got the mail I would just play along and see where it takes me.

I obviously wouldn't do anything to risk my account banning, but it would be fun to find out what this person/these people are actually after.

[xDemi]

Dx i want one someone send one to me haha

At first, I thought some kind of original (but bad handled) way of recruiting people for some sort of player-based event. Now, this thread by itself just answers to your first question. I bet the person who did that is having a good chuckle reading all what is posted there.
As for the levels, definately no. I'm barely at lvl 100, not to add my profile on there hasn't been updated in ages (still displaying chars at lvl 40 or something while they aren't anymore).

I sent something along the lines of : "Screw the mesetas! What do I have to kill?!" to the GMail adress, but I have yet to get a reply. :confused:

[HiroChicken]

This is pretty golden and written well. Looks just like the "Nigerian" e-mails that I've received in the past.

[pikachief]

aww i didnt get one, maybe i should put my E-mail in my PSO-W account info? lol

[hewitt]

Perhaps it's just PC/PS2 side. ;x

[Totori]

U.U I want one it would be fun to see what they are after lol

[Lance813]

Ahaha, this is funny.

I want to know who did this.

[Totori]

Maybe it's actully Hyuga lol

[Rust]

o_O What do you mean?

Ah, this thread kind of died. Oh well.

I sent the messages :3 Only 3 people responded.

And you could have at least answered to mine. :disapprove:
