Account Compromise

give me money to buy drip

Those damned 300m gil raffle. Those bots kept telling me I’ve won them, and here I wonder where have all of my luck gone to… no wonder I hardly roll above 15 on anything that I wanted!

On serious note, I hope you get your hard-earned money back.

I tried to log back into my account, but a software authenticator was added to the account which I did not previously have on my account. I cannot change my password back even with my email because it requests the one time password from the authenticator.

I have submitted a support ticket: 19828506 but have not heard from anyone yet.

My FC mates have also submitted GM tickets in game to have my account suspended until this is resolved.

Thanks,
Lana

I had someone whisper this crap to me Saturday evening. I didn't fall for it. I figured it was a scam similar to what I use to see in WoW. All I did was put that person, that whispered me, on my blacklist.

Glad you got your account back! Remember, Gil is temporary but Account Rewards are forever.

I dont feel pity for someone not only risking their own account but to everyone that tell also gets sent to from your account now because they are lazy. Be smarter. Use brain.

Your first post is to necro a 2.5 month old thread with a series of slashes? Odd choice, but I don't huff paint thinner so I can't relate.

Okay so I had a FC member fall for this. I locked down her characters so they couldn't get anything out of our Free Company chest. SE has responded that her account was banned for RM trading/shouting in game. She was already able to change her password but on the help desk ticket they said in order to get her account re instated they want a copy of her government issues ID. Assuming they want to verify that she is the accounts original owner but is this something they WOULD normally ask for. the email has her help desk ticket number on it but has anyone else had to do this ?

I had to in order to change my name on my account with a copy of my marriage certificate, so yes. If they didn't do that now, anyone could report an account as compromised and just go "QQ my account was hacked by this person, please give it back to me!" while the actual owner of the account gets locked out of their account.

As long as the email is coming from official SE channels (something like support@square-enix.com or something, my official "you paid for your monthly sub" emails come from autoinfo_us@account.square-enix.com) then it is safe to trust. If your friend is wary, they can likely open up a chat support from the support website/call support and get an email address confirmation to be 100% sure.
