Given how reviled Nexon is as a company (at least in the U.S.), I definitely believe there is room to believe that this was a nasty prank by a jaded consumer, rather than her making things up. Although, her claims of speaking to Mark Zuckerburg definitely don’t do her any favours if they turn out not to be true as well.
