fflaguna -> Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 7:36:49 AM)

I just got an email from somebody I don't know asking for my game serial, and I'm wondering if anybody else got this message...

Hello,

I am going to play PBEM game, but I can't install latest game patch.
I don't have VALID GAME SERIAL NUMBER.

I am looking for a valid serial number.
Maybe You can help me?
Could You give me serial number for WITP AE, please?

My private E-mail is

I have high experience in WITP and maybe we can play together.

Thats seems scam, he seems  a "great fan" who doesn't buy the game.[:-]

Delictive in most countries btw...

I haven't, but that's weird.  Sounds suspicious to me.

[edit] Because I re-read the forum rules and I might have violated article 1 & 7

Still you don;t want to violate rule 6

... Hoist anchor and set sail for other threads [;)]



aciddrinker -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 8:49:31 AM)

you can answer him "Kup sobie grę, nie kradnij." Which means 'Buy the game, do not steal'.



Flying Tiger -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 11:23:02 AM)

Ha! i just read the forum rules myself. Rule 7 is interesting. i suspect some of the comments directed at T's 'toe' could be construed as offensive!!



sprior -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 12:13:43 PM)

If it's already installed the serial number is in the registry.



rader -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 1:46:11 PM)

I just got the same message from the same guy.



Ikazuchi0585 -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 3:04:14 PM)

im pretty sure if he spent 80 bucks on the game he could easily find the serial number. haha



John Lansford -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 3:26:20 PM)

I'm thinking he wants a valid serial # so he can then tell Matrix "my copy of the game is messed up, please send me another one free, here's my serial #".  Like the others have said, the serial # is on the disk itself or if you dl'ed the game, it is in the registry.



tocaff -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 3:36:34 PM)

It's a tough crowd to outfox here, but as in all numbers games somebody will give it to him, just a matter of time.



Terminus -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 4:17:23 PM)

Nothing suspicious about this. He's being quite up front about the fact that he's stolen the game, but been too stupid to steal a serial number to go with it.




cantona2 -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 4:18:44 PM)

Some kaiten guy has asked me for my serial. he can kindly go f**k himself [:D]



morganbj -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/26/2010 8:12:35 PM)

I think I'll tell him he can have it for $120.  [:D]

I know some Nigerians I will put him in touch with. I am sure they will help him out for a small fee [;)]



ltfightr -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/27/2010 12:18:12 AM)

I got the same e-mail I sent a copy to Eric. This is stealing no doubt!



hubin -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/30/2010 12:39:44 PM)

This was one of the stupidest stealing attempts that i heard of.
It's a shame that the guy is from my country.




Monter_Trismegistos -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/30/2010 3:38:49 PM)

What really puzzles me - why the hell he needed that serial for? If he had a game, he should have original serial (in case he bought the game) or a serial of a buddy who let him copied his installation CD.



usersatch -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/30/2010 4:19:17 PM)

I just got an email from Matrix with my serial. I got one when I downloaded it, but did not get one (on the disc) when the physical game arrived. So that was cool of them to send it to me (a month later).



Nomad -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/30/2010 5:00:09 PM)

I didn't get an email from this person. I feel left out. [:(][:@]

You can send me your serial # if that will make you feel better. [;)]



Chickenboy -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/31/2010 2:50:18 PM)

Erik Rutkins et. al. from Matrix have been very helpful in the past when new (or old) owners of the game have misplaced their serial numbers. If you think this is a legitimate email request, I'd refer the person to Matrix support. They can confirm the purchase and help him identify the location of the purchased serial number.



Terminus -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/31/2010 4:38:08 PM)

It's not legitimate. Reeks of feeble attempts at deception and cleverness.



Chickenboy -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (1/31/2010 6:59:55 PM)

I knew that, Terminus. I was trying to offer objective information to the PP about his post and future options for other forum members in a similar situation. My opinion re: the legitimacy of his inquiry was not what the PP asked.

Not too clever since every single note on the forum help thread eventually gets...helped.



Zakhal -> RE: Anyone else on the forum get an email asking for your WitP:AE serial? (2/3/2010 2:41:52 PM)

He propably updated the game and noticed that the previous serial he used doesnt work anymore. Matrix games are that much niche that their patches are usually left uncracked. The only way to get patched matrix games is to buy them and considering how good the patches are you really want them so there is no choice. You either buy or you dont play. Its one of the few DRMs that actually work.
