How to spot --Staff Impersonation--

[Black_arrow_into_your_sou]

I wish I knew this with my very first again. But now, I feel like this will never happen to me or anyone else if they put use to this info.

I have't had any problems but I will keep an eye out.

I watch my sister's account & one day she called me from home saying that i needed to get on her account... I am in a computer graphics program & some of my classmates find it funny to make it seem like they are mods to test my wits.

Turned out it was a hacker..... I sent a remote virus over the AIM I found on their listing.. Outsmarted them & reported them.

Best way to get to a hacker in my opinion... break their computer with viruses, worms, & trojans... *Evil grin & laughs*

u seem like a good friend to have

Wow you sound a lot like my best friend. If someone messes with me he'll do the same thing to them. Once he made their computer do a reboot loop. xd For those that do not know. He made the computer reboot over and over again. So the user could not use their computer.

hmmm good idea... but next time i am just typing out a program that makes the computer delete everything but the start up program & user interface in which the new user interface is me laughing at them.... I am getting help from my professor. He loves the idea of it..

Yeah it is helpful but once the account being banned thing happened and I refused to give my password and when I logged off then on again my account was banned

wat if your purchasing something from the marketplace and it says like password to confirm purchase or sumthing (dont really remember) is that normal?

As long as your address bar says you're still on gaia, then yes.

I'm actually kind of glad this got featured on the Community Spotlight. Seriously, the number of scams being tossed around like water and the people that fall for them is pretty ridiculous. Common sense, guys. Common sense.

thnx 4 the help

I think that this is good for a rudimentary education in protecting accounts, especially for younger users. For older users, though, it seems like old news.

i was hacked and the admin had a orange name and a subtitle?

[Spike511]

Wow, are we lucky. My friend called me up a while ago, saying she got this PM, but did not have time to respond, so she wanted me to send in her Password, Username, etc... Lol, but she gave me her password. And I logged in, checked the PM, then thought. The name isn't orange. the name was written something like Adm1n and it was a blank avi.... hmm, suspicious. I just won't respond, and I will report it. Lucky friend, no? ((I only really paid attention, because orange is my favourite colour.)) =)
