Fly For Fun Penya Hack? Don’t be fooled!

About a year ago, I posted an article and a video on MMOtaku that supposedly show how to hack the online game Fly For Fun to give your character a lot of penya, the in-game currency. The title says it all, “Fly For Fun Penya Hack!”
The video seems genuine, from a gullible person’s perspective, at least until you reach the end. This is the reason why I included a clarification in the article that states, “If you didn’t watch the video till the end, well, I’m sure that when I open my email tomorrow morning, I’ll have the account names and passwords for dozens, if not hundreds, of accounts.”
True enough, I’ve received, to date, almost a hundred emails from unsuspecting Fly For Fun players not only from my side of the pond (that’s the Philippines, for those who don’t know) but also from those playing on gPotato’s servers.
No, this screenshot has nothing to do with penya hacking. It’s just here to show you guys how the game looks like.
Okay, to clarify, again, there’s no such thing as a Fly For Fun penya hack—at least, none that I know of. So why did I post the video? Because I want to demonstrate why a lot of online game players still get scammed. Greed plays a big part, but lack of common sense seals the player’s doom.
Here’s another video of the alleged Fly For Fun penya hack. Watch it, but don’t be fooled by it.
