Public Service Announcement

Posted by Simon Lameth on July 6, 2006

The following Public Service Announcement is only to alert readers to a scam. It is not placed by Ginko Financial or Ginko Technologies. It has been placed as a warning by Second Life Times staff.

Posted By: Hinoserm Rebus in the Ginko Financial Forums.

Someone by the name of “Iamagay Clapper” has been placing invisible cubes around our ATMs (and it looks like a couple SLExchange ATMs as well), scripted to take money, and with varying names “Ginko version xxx” “Vendor carrier” etc.

We are working to alert Linden Labs of this issue and resolve it as soon as possible.

In the meanwhile, I encourge everyone more now than ever to please MAKE SURE the ATM you are using is owned by “GF Ambassador” before you use it. It also helps to press CTRL+ALT+T and make sure there are no invisible prims around the ATM.

Here is a photo of one of the instances (the Ginko ATM was deleted before I took these, you can see where it used to be):
