Private Messages Bug

Hi, I have a major bug in my private messages.

When I send a private message to a gangster, this message is send to 1 or many other random players in other gangs. I also have the feeling that the gangster who I send the message to does not receive it. (when i send it the message shows a number in front of it like #2565567126)

This is a big problem when I send messages to potential new members and these messages are send to my enemies. 1 of my messages about "killing my enemy and working together with another gang" was send to my ENEMY...so after that I lost my HQ and many of my area's.

Do you know about this bug and are you going to fix it? Because i don't dare to send any message anymore.

Can I get a screenshot of the #4564684 ?

I will make a screenshot for you when it happens again..because it's not always the case.

Check here the screenshot. I've had this in at least 20 messages last weekend again. No one that had this number responded on it, so i think its not working. I also received messages of other players with the samen problem.

Thanks for the screenshot. Can you tell me how did you get it ?

You send to this person the first message and the second ? Or ?

The screenshot was about the second message, but most of the times is the first time.
I go to the account of the player --> select menu --> select send PM --> type message and .... get this code (i doesn't always happen, but at least 50% of the times).

Sometimes I also invite the person to my gang before sending the message.

Okay I am going to take a look

Thanks..

Found anything?

Not for the moment !

Every player in my gang (BoneDigger Gang) has this issue. We have all tried, multiple times, to get a message to another player and it ends up getting shotgunned to like 3 or 4 players who have no idea what we are talking about. And the person it was directed to originally, NEVER gets it. It makes Diplomacy a huge pain. We probably seem like real jerks the way we just roll through and gank stuff but we cannot communicate. For me, it is a massive bug that makes the game a lot less fun to play. Considering this and the myriad of other bugs, I have struggled to keep active with it. If I didn't have other friends in this I would probably have already just quit. By and large the bugs kinda balance and even add a certain unpredictability to the game that I really like. This, however, is not a feature that I can continue to go without. If this isn't fixed soon, probably everyone in my gang is going to just quit. We are all very frustrated with this.

what ive been told by other players + after having this experienced several times.
you've been sending a message to a 'bot' (artificial intellegence) of the game.
When that happends, it seems that the message splits up and got forwarded to like 5 random players you never heard of and will reply you like: 'what you're talking about?'

Ive learnt how to recognise these 'bots' and although im not sure if its totally acurate it seems like they always have the same characteristics.

* They show a '?' in distance.
* Their login status shows 'over two weeks'
* They are always alone.
* Their gangname is always the same as their own name + ends with 'gang'
* Their 3 characters tag always start with the 3 characters of their own name.

add them all up, and you're most probably dealing with a bot.
Just look at the way these players take names.. it easily looks like this is part of a script when some system is randomly generating a bot.
