I am here to hope that an admin sees this. As of today, three people have been going around (one of which had the god rank) claiming to be giving people free ranks. Upon JugglingToddler coming to me with the proposed situation, it sounded too good to be true. That was until i looked under the donation tab of the forums. An email and password isn't required? I was curious. I setup a little glitch on mojang.com to where if my password was changed, I still had one more chance to change it back. These people have been claiming to be giving out ranks, only to request the users email and password- which isn't needed to purchase a rank. Only a username. Why are they asking for peoples emails and passwords? So they can take your information and change your password. I agreed, and forked up personal information (changed my password before giving it out). I stayed on the server until JugglingToddler claimed it done. I attempted to relog, only to get the "invalid session" error. I closed the game, only to be asked to log back in again. my password wouldn't work. I finished the glitch on mojang.com to change my password back again, then checked my gmail account. Sure enough, I had 2 password change notifications. One from me, and another from anemone else. I attempted to get video evidence by going back a second time, but he caught on and left. All I got was him saying "Ye" when I asked if my email was required. Please put out a notification alerting people of this, becuase I have watched 4 people log off after telling me they recieved a free rank. They are still offline. Just please do someting to notify people of the scam
Here's a tip - NEVER GIVE SOMEONE ELSE YOUR CREDENTIALS TO ANY SITE. YOU WILL NOT IN ANYWAY BENEFIT FROM IT.
JugglingToddler approached me as well offering a free rank (yesterday). I'm pretty skeptical about folks doing stuff like that, frankly, so I questioned it. This was during a match of Infection that had been full of untouchable ranked players spawnkilling in one of the maps. I chatted how it would be nice if the game was more fair to member who don't have paid membership and that's when he offered to buy rank. Again, questioned him about it, we got into build talks and I showed him my build. He asked if I could build him a new Archer PVP map, offered to pay too. I didn't see him after that though. I'm not going to give out log-in info though; too easy to get hacked.
OK trading people fullstop is always risky but trading with your account on the line ... that is just plain stupid, I don't know why you would EVER consider this even if it was to get someone banned, you probably could've screens jotted them asking for your account information and that might have been enough, nothing will be done and if you lost anything I think it serves you right.
