Fell off the first page.
 
     
Unless you report a rule violation, you've done nothing productive.

I feel this kind of information should be in the introduction process for someone signing up for Gaia.

In anycase, I just got my first scammer e-mail only moments ago. I thought of this guide and decided to take a screen shot. I doubt you need anymore examples, but just in case I'll send the image along. It's rather big, so forgive me if I stretch the page.



If you do decide to use this in the guide, you may edit it as you see fit. (Like quadruple circling the" REPORT THIS, BI-ATCH!" button).
 
     
 
Spartan's Artistic Dreams...


I got this one PM one day.
It was the most well developed message trying to scam/hack that I had ever got.
I freaked for a little while, then was like, waiiiiit a second, -kick-.
-takes screenshot and uploads to photobucket...-
I appologize for any page stretching, the PM was quite wide and any smaller it would be unable to be read.

You may edit as you see fit if you use this, my permission is given.
^^;;


Remember everyone, colors are key and they are getting more and more cunning, be careful!

Here's a tip, if you find you got a keylogger on your computer.

Find a random word anywhere on the net/your computer, and copy/paste it to become your new password. If you use copy/paste, a keylogger cannot detect it. [Make sure you can remember the word.]

Then, log off, disconnect from the internet, and run a full virus and spyware scan.

Log back into your account, and change your password again.

Here's the proof:



Again, it may be edited however anyone sees fit.

Love me? Hate me? It's up to you, I could care less. Cause I am me, just me. <3

 
What a great thread! There is loads of information on here! <3
     
You're just a freak...like me.

Do you know of any free virus removers, I think I got one by taking my cookies down for a moment. That spyware doctor just told me I got spyware and virus, I need to buy the full thing to get rid of it.
 
     
 
I think trying to avoid being hacked is not enough there should be a system for it. When you play "Ragnarok", Pangya and other online games they usually has a security system which helps people to be secured from being hacked
