a user on youtube called: bark113

messaged me saying: Hello, my name is David and i work for ellusionist for 3 years right now and i just saw your unboxing Videos and its great to represent ellusionist so we will having an special offer you can get 3 items that you want on Ellusionist No Payment No charge All for free because we think your a good inspiration to all who will bought our products, so if you will accept my gracious offer we will appreciate it i hope you reply back.

I checked out his channel and there is nothing about E just runescape and giveaways. Scam? if so please tell me.

Aaron · « **Reply #1 on:** February 12, 2012, 06:43:35 PM »

I would say so. Why would E do thatÉ But I think you should go along with it until he asks for like a credit card # or something.

Kanped · « **Reply #2 on:** February 12, 2012, 06:54:39 PM »

Just contact E and ask them. It's almost definitely a scam but they will probably be interested either way.

Isn't the guy named MyMagicStuff named David? He legit works for ellusionist.

This sounds pretty sketchy and if I were you, I would just verify it with ellusionist. Better safe than sorry

Ya but I watched one of his videos and he has worked at E from almost he start up of it.

Just ask him details and if he asks you about a credit card, just contact E. Otherwise, what do you have to lose?

K · « **Reply #6 on:** February 12, 2012, 09:28:12 PM »

Doesn't sound legit, if you want just follow through and know where to stop. Personal particulars and all, especially when it comes down to money.

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #7 on:** February 12, 2012, 09:42:57 PM »

yeah, i tried to send an email back and it wouldn't send

dmbaggs · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2012, 10:24:52 PM »

Ah lame trolls. I would email E if you are really curious. It smells fishy though

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #9 on:** February 12, 2012, 10:32:22 PM »

Already done and waiting for a response

xZEROx · « **Reply #10 on:** February 13, 2012, 04:02:46 AM »

Since it'll be free, he shouldn't be asking for your credit card number. What have you got to lose? Maybe your name and address at the most.

Until you know the guy is legit, I wouldn't even surrender that much information.

I'm with don on this one, addresses can be very important you know..

John B. · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2012, 10:26:20 AM »

just contact E. I would not give out adress, email, card info, nothing. scammers will take it and find a way to cheat you.

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #14 on:** February 13, 2012, 03:13:12 PM »

PO BOX?? lol how can they track me down if i use a PO BOX

Kanped · « **Reply #15 on:** February 13, 2012, 03:52:24 PM »

...because the PO Box is registered in someone's name.

...Anyway, Josh, just the bad grammar in the message looks fishy enough to me, I wouldn't have took it seriously to begin with.

@joshrobinson probably a scam.... Like what they all said, Don't give out any info on yourself.

I 2nd, 3rd, 4th,.... nth the motion. Never ever give any info to suspicious strangers. But always remember, you can always trust a man in a big white van.

xela · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2012, 03:36:27 AM »

E wouldn't contact you and give you stuff for free for representing them with deck reviews and videos. They do, from time to time, send out new products early to reviewers and other notable people for free, but that's it.

Could you get that kind of partnership? Maybe. Would some guy who gets wet for Runescape be the way to get it? Probably not. I'll forward this link to Marcus and see what he has to say.

Marcus · « **Reply #22 on:** February 15, 2012, 10:29:34 AM »

Hey guys,

We've been receiving e-mails and support tickets about this guy over the last few days and I can say with 100% certainty that he is not in any way working with or for Ellusionist. It is a scam of some sort, and I've forwarded the information to our lawyers. In the meantime, stay clear of this guy as he is not to be trusted.

(To clear things up - we do have a David working for us, but first of all his full name isn't what the user bark113 is giving out, and our Dave has been working with us since the dawn of life pretty much.)

We rarely do sponsor youtube users or websites, and when we do we always go through official channels such as our official Ellusionist youtube account, or our e-mail addresses always being [name]@ellusionist.

-Marcus

Thanks for clearing that up!
Though I doubt any of us actually got our hopes up for getting sponsors like that.

Joshua Robinson · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:37:39 PM »

I would love being sponsored by E on YouTube and receiving new products to review them, I would love that job. Hey Marcus, need someone to do that?

Haha. Nice job turning the convo in your favor! I'm sure you would be a great sponsor for them!
