Anybody else get this, he sent it to me 5 times ffs!

Hi!
Firstly excuse me, i am writing you persanally.
I saw on page with Bioshock, that you have game.
And i am gonna ask you one question.
But before i write some info about myself. I am gamer from Ukraine (so, sorry for my English).
In our country Bioshock would be released only after 2 weeks (~ on 14 september from 1C).
I can't afford even download it from Steam, becouse our internet speed is so slow.
So, my question is: If you have valid serial number for game, could you share with it?
From my side i guarantee, that i will not give it anyone, and if you say uninstall the game with it - i will surely do it.
With the best reguards, everytime playing in Bioshock demo, Eugen3d.
PS: Plz, dont say how stupid i am by asking key. I know, it's illigal and unmoraly, but i have no choice, as only wait. And it's quite hard to do, espescialy when reading reviews of game and seeing its screenshots... And 2 weeks...
Thanks for your time.

This guy

He asked me too, i just ignored it i think, or wrote what i though at the time was a hilarious reply. Also think i posted in the Bioshock thread about a scammer too.

They come over here, post on our forums, take our games and cause teenage pregnancies and bluetongue.

Ban this sick filth.

Makes no sense ...

Xbox 360 version CLEARLY lack a CD-Key and why the heck he wanted a CD-Key if he could not download the game from Steam due to the "slow speeds".

I saw on Michael Palin's program that Ukranians enjoy pig farming, and subsequently trading those pigs for women.

Also, the game came out in ukraine now, he could have atleast edited the message for a modern crowd.

2/10

Oh this guy. Yeah he's poor or something. He wanted me to pirate Kudos Rock Legend for him.

(i actually think he's a pirate and not really poor at all)

That explains what I keep seeing walking down the street.

After I told him to buy the game by sending a cheque or by emailing the author about how to pay, he sentme a link to a pirated version of it on megaupload.

Needless to say, I told him that this was terrible, and that I had no choice but to tell the author that this file was being shared.

This was his reply:

Man, what are you thinking about? Link still alive))
Report cliffski again. And don't forget to mention, that it's me, Eugen3d - he will surely understand. And say him that he can enable PM on his forum now

of course, cliffski took a different view:

Hi thaks very much for this, I just reported it. I really appreciate it. I think 99% of people moaning about payment options are just liars who want free games. You can use paypal, or fax or snail mail a check to buy a game, its very very rarely a valid excuse.

You lot are so fucking suspicious. I gave him my social security number a couple of weeks back (he is making some sort of survey), and nothing bad has happened to me.

Try to be a bit more trusting in the future.

Oh yeah, each of his PMs arrived 5 times - it's probably his ukrainian internet playing up. They only just got the internet over there or something.

To be fair, it probably costs the equivalent of half a month's salary in Ukraine, and I bet half the people posting on this thread have files of dubious origin on their hard drive.

Pirate scum, all of us.

Err, I mean you. All of you.

Yeah, but we have the common decency to steal those key codes that are public, rather than scam people who have paid the dosh.

Wait?
Am I dumb? He said that 'he couldn't download it from steam because of the slow internet'.

So what the hell is the CD key for if he can't download it then?

Thanks for the warning. Please note that there is a "report user" button on every user's profile - this is a perfect example of when to use it.

Haha just used the 'report user' function for the first time - absolutely love the pull down list of complaints.

He's probably on the same ISP as Razz.

Pigs for women then - what's the going rate? How many porkers would I get for the missus? Is there a website for this? Epig.net?

/mmmmm roast suckling piglets....pork scratchings on tap....

Don't think so. You're asked "What would you like to report?" and the options are:

Offensive behaviour
Racist behaviour
both misspelt by the way! CRAIGY!! >

Copyright infringement
Sony bias
Xbox fanboys
Other

"Razz" should be an option on that list.

otto: Oh 'those'! Yeah. I reported you for anti-XBox comments 100's of times, but they haven't done anything about it yet.

I think they should now add 'cabbage' to it.
