a person named Silkk. private messaged me saying i have 2 accounts and asks me for my account name and password, he asked me to check the forums as he said he was a moderator so i checked the forums but his online name is Silkk with a . at the end, i was suspicious so i checked the forums and i read in this thread that to never give out account name and pass to anyone, so i logged out and posted this
screenshot attached
i posted this on the shot-online forums under gernal discussions under sticky forums so be careful guys, i nearly got tricked by this guy, a real moderator replied to me post and he said its a fake admin
its strange though cos my brother used my computer to play his character under his own account, so i don't know why that fake admin knows i had to 2 accounts

Thanks for the heads up.... but, I don't get it.
What reason did the fraudster give for wanting your username and password? Can't read a thing on that screenshot, it's just a thumbnail.
Not that it really matters, you should never give your password to anyone, for shot online or anything else, if someone asks for it. Administrators and the like have no need for it, they're able to go in the back end and play around (pardon the unintontinal double entendre) with your account all they want without ever knowing your password. This goes for both online games and forums.

This will be my signature until Dexter Bean qualifies for a NASCAR race. Keep chasing that dream...
