Account Verification Bill

[Star of Friendship]

Account Verification Bill i need to know if this person is part of the administartion cuz they asked for my account info. but i did not give it to them.

It's doubtable since admins aren't supposed to ask you for your account info... I think the only time they ask for that is when you buy something or log in, so I wouldn't...

I checked this complete list of Gaia staff for the site and found no one with that name. Please look over it once more because I might have missed his name. If it's not there then he doesn't work for Gaia.

It's a massive scam I have received the below PM from another "Account Verification" person

A public service announcement to just make it known that this person is trying to get to your passwords and information to hack your account. Never give out your password and if you get something like this in your inbox from a user that starts with Account Verification it is a scam! eek

Below is the PM that I was sent, obviously I didn't do anything that they asked but when I checked the coding it flagged my anit-virus software.

Exactly what was mentioned by terrahari; real moderators will never ask you for account log-in credentials just because they don't need to. As convincing as a name can sound, or how much effort was put into their message, don't ever give out your information!
