Hello Bladers, We are receiving a rising number of reports about phishing (scam) attempts lately, where a user, typically named "TaleWorlds Ipek" is sending Steam messages to people, asking for money in exchange for Bannerlord Beta access and a copy of the game. This is not a TaleWorlds developer, these are not legitimate proposals. You should block and ignore the user (and report them, if you would like to help). We have already messaged Steam and made reports directly, so hopefully this should be dealt with promptly. Just for some guidance, here are some things that TaleWorlds as a company can 100% guarantee never to do: -Request money from anyone over Steam Chat -Request payment from anyone via Skins from another game (seriously...) -Open public beta testing, without announcing it on our website or forums We are a professional company, that is not how we do things. Use your common sense, and always be cautious when someone is offering you something that seems too good to be true. If anyone was a victim of any of these attempts, they should contact Steam for help. TaleWorlds cannot provide any assistance, we are just trying out best to get this user removed/banned. Anyway, hopefully most of you are completely unaffected. Have fun playing Mount & Blade!
