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 a member of Matrixgames Forum and I am the great fan of War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition.
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
santi023@wp.pl
I have high experience in WITP and maybe we can play together.
regards,
Kaiten

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 [;)]

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

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).
