IMPORTANT NOTICE exclaim Please start your post with THIS IS A SCAM ATTEMPT! That way newer guild members won't buy into the mumbo jumbo these hackers use. exclaim NEVER, EVER click on any links that may remain in these posts. This could make you accessible to a hacker and is exactly what we are trying to avoid. exclaim If you have seen an additional version of a scam already posted, please quote the original scam/hack attempt and then add what happened to you below it. (A good example is what ToriTink did in next post.

I mostly get some newbz telling me that they would have traded me their golden compass for my katana.. worth more, yet do I look like a newb?
I also had gotten these in the past, and with that the famous ones which tell you that they're admins, asking for your account information.

If anyone tries to trade you for something that is worth more than what you already have - ignore it! Also, NEVER take a trade from someone you do not know! It could be someone trying to dump hacked goods.

Sorrenato ...Okay, I'll post something here. I guess one of the reasons I joined this guild, even though I don't usually like joining guilds, is because I was being pretty stupid and got myself hacked. ANd I lost A LOT of expensive stuff...plus my rather meager amount of gold. I know that it was COMPLETELY my fault, so enough about that because I've already been lectured several times (*sigh*) I just wish to aid people who have been stupid and made mistakes. I mean, hacking is scary. People can track down where you live and who you are, and they can steal thousands of dollars from you. And though extreme money-grubbers like that are in the wrong, most of the time it's your fault for letting yourself get hacked in the first place. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I will try my best to do anythign I can to help, and I want to warn people to watch the sings. For me, it was sickenly obvious, so don't make the same mistake. I know it's just a computer game (of sorts...), But it is really frusturating when you loose things that took you time that could be used for projects, energy that could be used for getting some excercise, thought, and experience. SO don't let it happen...and thank God there are people who care enough to spend their spare time helping those who loose their way...Allright, I'll shut up now...God I write so much. -_-

I got this a while back...
From: GO Account Mgt
To: A_wolf_drowning_in_blood

Subject: Account Report
Attention User:
Your account has been flagged by Gaia Security as a suspect of
account fraud and/or botting.
We must access your account in order to finish our investigation,
so we politely ask that you comply by providing us with the information we need.
Please fill out and submit the following form to GaiaSecureInformation@Gmail.com.
Gaia Username:
Gaia Password:
Warning:
Failure to provide this information will result in
the permanent banning of your account
from GaiaOnline.
Thank you,
GaiaOnline Security Department
Report form 230.78.34088
That pissed me off. First of all, the user's Avi was not an avi, it was "deleted", meanin git was a blank shawdow/outline. Second, The user's name was not in color, like the admin's and other mods. And I thought that gaia had all of this information in files? If so, why would they need our passwords and e-mails? But I have to admit, that "Report form" number looks convincing. I reported it to a real mod and she looked into it.

I've received something quite similar. They can be deceiving - it's a good thing that you caught on and reported it.
