Lately, we've had many people receive hacked money from hackers. This is a PSA on what to do with received hacked money, how to best identify hacked money, and repercussions that can happen.
How to Identify Hacked Money
- If you're receiving several millions at a time from a random person, with no clear intent, it may be hacked money.
- If someone says "Who wants free money" in side chat and you say "me me me me me" and then they send you a good bit of money, it may be hacked money.
- If you've received money from someone and then you see them get Permanently banned from our servers for scripting/hacking/cheating some time later - it may be hacked money.
- If you receive a lot of money and you've got no clue what to do with your bank account and how to best proceed, make a general inquiry ticket here: https://olympus-entertainment.com/support/(remember to note down the server you received it on, the date, and the time, and your timezone, and the name of the guy that sent the money DO NOT SPEND THE MONEY), however, if there's a general purpose to receiving some money (you just got RDM'd and someone wants to make amends with comp, a bet that was agreed upon, etc.) it's probably legit.
What to do when you know you received Hacked Money
- Make a compensation request ticket here: https://olympus-entertainment.com/support/ and state the amount of money you received, make sure to include the server, the date, the time, your timezone and the name of the guy you received the money from. Staff will remove the Hacked Money, honesty is very much appreciated. DO NOT SPEND THE MONEY.
Repercussions of knowingly keeping Hacked Money
- If you knowingly received hacked money and spent the money/gave it away, staff will remove the money left over in your account as well as any assets on your account to make up for the lost money and/or go and take the money from the player(s) you gave some money to. If you waste staff time, you may catch some administrative action.
- If you knowingly receive hacked money and try to hide the fact that you received hacked money by dispersing it to other accounts or putting it into gang bank, you will be severely punished.
