Old news is old.
Stuff like this is happening more often and there are lots of people doing it.
Just remember to report it and don't give away your password and you'll be alright.

My friends and I have got something all similar...
It's kinda stupid how people would even attempt to trick someone in this way.
Doesn't everyone know that Gaia Admins would never ask for passwords? It even said so when I signed up I think.
But yes, thank you. smile

These sort of PMs have been around for years.
Some newbies do fall for it, but they don't really have much to lose in the first place.

That is a pretty standard PM. They don't change much.
Just report it and move on, you'll likely see that same message next year..

I've only gotten one so far. Reported him and I don't think he ever logged on that account again.

That's like the exact same text I received on my other account like back in 2005.
Its like hackers use the same standard for their pm's.
