    The portal address seems legit but when I gp to it, not only does it want my username, password, and email, it wants my EMAIL PASSWORD. Why would Bigpoint or anyone want my email password unless they want to view all my personal email messages. Sounds real fishy to me !
    Here is message with address:

    Hello WhoWasThat,

    The message posted above is a scam and we ask for future reference that you please post on the Chat Board or Contact Support regarding this to avoid users accidentally clicking any links.

    Could you reply back with the server?

    Thanks Deter,
    Wasn't 100% sure was scam, but next time Chat board or Support, got it thanks

    us3.darkorbit.com is the server, I don't know if still commonly referred to as US west (number unkown, especially after merge(s))

    If you need/want my username or userID or the other usernames that msg was sent to, let me know and I will msg it/them to you.

    You may close/move thread as needed

    Check who you have had in your clans Discord recently.
    About a month ago we had a few unknowns somehow gained access to our Discord, within days many of us received that same email, with a different server address but content was the same..
     
  5. It seems like this was sent out to a lot of people by a lot of people. I got a message and followed the link, which I noticed was not the real DO, so I didn't put my log-in info in. I think though that if I had, the scam system would have sent out messages from my account as well given 2 of my clan mates sent these out (BadDNA being one) and I know for a fact they are not spammers. That being said, I don't know why he was banned since it was the scam system that sent it out. Seems a bit hasty to ban him for being a 'scammer'.
     
  6. Banned, because their accounts have been compromised. They'll need to personally talk with support to recover their accounts.
