Read this to help protect your account from Scammers and Hackers! Please be aware that malicious users will try to trick you to click on false links to try and get your password to steal your account and your items. As you may know, we strongly advice you against sharing your password with anyone else (Real Gaia Staff will NEVER ask you for your password. To find out more about how to spot Staff Impersonation click here. The Sticky can be found on the Q&A forum). So Scammers are now hidding password scamming links within banners or text links that claim to give out FREE GOLD or items, or to VOTE for them, or to TEST new features, etc There are a few legit giveaways, so beware of the links you click. Hover your mouse over the link, and make sure it directs to http://www.gaiaonline.com Any other website that doesn't start with that address and asks for your Gaia username and password is a FAKE site. They will get your password, hack your account and continue to scam users with it. When you hover your mouse over, please pay attention to the URL after the word REDIRECT: http://i44.tinypic.com/2eoe90k.png If it logs you out, verify you are still in www.gaiaonline.com BEFORE entering your password again. These are some examples of some scamming posts: silly scammer Want Gaia Gold!!  Click Here!! silly scammer silly scammer  Again, check the links you click, some are disguised as something else: silly scammer Vote for Mario!!  Click On Mario!! Hey can you please vote for my friends avatar in the arena? He reallly wants to win. Please vote a ten. Click on Mario to get there, You get gold for voting! silly scammer Think I'm Hot?  Click to leave me a comment!! silly scammer As for my forum, [/I'm ONLY donating to the first 7 who PMed me. You're honestly the 1st. I was kinda gone and I just opened a random PM. I got around 40 messages though. LOL. Here's the link to how I got my stuff: --Clicky-- You can get ANYTHING you want. That's how I got my dream avi so quickly. Enjoy! ^-^ silly scammer the pic below is actually ME the person is actually my main! srsly!! http://i25.tinypic.com/am759t.jpg think Im hot? click the pic to comment me!! silly scammer Hello Everyone! I could have almost everyone member on gaia rich! Its such an easy way to get gold! The Only Thing that YOU need to take part in is sending me your information. But, first just so I kow that you want the gold is that I want you to just tell me that you saw my advertisment about the free 2k gold & would like to have it. I have broke into the gaia's server cookie & is able to get any gold whenever I need it. So just like you've read above, just do as I say & you will have gold in no time! In a quick, fast, AND EASY way to have gold in no time & looking sexci & fresh or however you like to look. Have fun with the gold that i give you & enjoy your time There's no links on the post, they ask you to directly PM them and worse, send them your information. Yes, they're asking for your password, even if it's personal information, that is not allowed either. Of course they are lying about breaking into Gaia, it's a silly lie to get your information. Now even if that was true and you gave them your password and got the gold (which you won't, but bear with me) you will be banned for getting gold in an illicit way. Always hover your mouse over links before clicking on them! Even if the text says http://www.gaiaonline.com the actual link goes somewhere else. Most will lead you to a FAKE Gaia log in site, it tells you that were logged off Gaia and that you need to log in again. This is false and they will steal the information you entered into their fake website, to hack your account. So be a responsible Gaian, don't give out your information, protect your account and earn your own gold the old fashion way. You also have the option of buying Gaia Cash if you prefer. Go to the SHOP section in the main menu and choose "Get Gaia Cash" To report Scamming threads or posts, use the http://i43.tinypic.com/pujuv.png or http://i39.tinypic.com/110dle9.png buttons. To report Scammers in Games (slots, rally, etc) simply click on their avatars and 2 options come up. choose "Report Abuse" http://i34.tinypic.com/2l8ubyu.jpg If you have been victim to a Hacker/Scammer, please fillout a proper report form: [Report A Hacking] For unauthorized entry to your account.
