Unexperienced people may fall in that scam. If those scams keep going on, that's because at least 1% of people who receive those e-mails, fall in the scam.
What a shame.

I've seen much, much, better...
Found it surprising they're targetting Maple Europe now, though.

These scams really sicken me. >_>
Still, never give out your account info outside of Nexon's OFFICIAL website and the game.
[Warning] Scam Email - Erich - 2008-12-10
Plus it is nexon.com
Not .net. If it for Global, it would always be .net. Nother plain throwaway.
and googlemail?
Sad, sad attempt.

probably netbots. you know, google-like tools that search the web for strings that match the email form (something@something.something). there are big companies that make loads of money by doing that. they sell people mailing lists sorted by the websites they were found in, so for example, one could buy 200 emails that were found on southperry.net or on sleepywood.net, and by doing that he ensures that the emails he bought are used by people who play maple.

A lot of you think you're smart in that "nosht this is obviously a scam." But this works in the same way as V1@gra ads do. They find a list of a few thousand emails, and since email is cheap, they send spam to everyone. Although most people (maybe even 99+%) are smart enough not to fall for it. But if we had 10,000 people and 99% saw through their scheme, the 1% who didn't (100) would be handing over their accounts to the scammers. 100 accounts for the cost of acquiring a email-list? Not a bad ROI if you ask me (however unethical it might be).
