Got the same one and quite francly, even if it is against the rules to post other companynames like this, I fully aprove.

This is a company only created to destroy and never intended to take part of regular gameplay. Message sent to admins

Congratulations! Your company has been chosen for one of the most business talented company in Kapilands (along with 10 other comanies)! But before we can send you your prize, you will have to do one thing.

First log off. Then log on again and look carefuly at the top of your web browser. Can you see the short word =&pass= in your web adress? Just copy everything behind that word.
After that go and send me a message and paste me what you have just copied.
It is extremly important that you copy everything right after you log on, before doing anything else.
Then we will send you your prize!
Thank you!

If you go stats and search company the company

System_

Does not exist.

So therefore either u will not get anymore messages, or the bot can still send messages from the company System_ even though its been deleted!

In anycase just make sure you DO NOT give any details to anyone.

No, this company did not send any further messages after the deletion.

@AVIA: my info was, that two companies sent their urls to that company, but nothing happened to these accounts! And if you know Nasenprinz, you also should have known not to send an url... this is an "old" issue in Kapi....

@all: People should also take care of the texts they are reading: if you read a message, this warning not to send an url comes each time... so BEFORE you reply, you will automatically see the message... you just have to read it.

And: things happen... even on a weekend... We sent several warnings, there are lots of threads here in the forum on this. It was an issue in the chat...

So everybody should be able to have one day of a weekend... even programmers ;-) (although just to inform you: yesterday was an exemption, usually they also work on the weekends..... so no need to worry in my opinion^^

I suggest to ban the whole IP address, if possible, it is not difficult to create new company and try again...

This will be your new e-mail adress. Please go to Profile settings and change it! After that send us a reply so we can activate your e-mail adress. Please take this message seriously because you will lose right to use any e-mail adress if you don't change it in 7 days!
