It won't hurt you unless you actually enter your log-in info, which sends it to a bot that will immediately attempt to log into Mogstation using those credentials and change your password, which will also kick you out of the game if you're already logged in.Quote:

How do they get your information?

01-16-2022, 12:50 AMMikey_RIt takes you to a fake website that looks genuine, you then enter your details, including the one time password if you happen to have one setup. They then log the info and use it to log into your account and change the password, effectively locking you out.Quote:

Consider the max trade amount is 1,000,000, that's another dead give away that it's a scam. Nobody is gonna sit for 300 trade transactions and I doubt they know about the allegan pieces.
You're safe. Keep in mind actual players wont give away 300 million gil like that.Quote:

Just saw this scam this morning. Got sent the same link by two different characters. Hopefully security questions and 2FA are enough to save people from getting hacked. Already reported but idk how the GMs usually handle this type of thing. The fake forum link seems to have disabled the login and reply bars after a while so maybe they've gone to a different link and gave up on the one they sent me.

Sorry for bringing back a few weeks old thread, but I got the scam not that long ago. I realized it was fake too late and changed my password and added a software token. My login history says there was an attempt by an IP address I didn't recognize, but considering I was able to change my password (have done so three times now) and add the token means I've thwarted them, I think? Really worried now.

I saw this while looking for the forum. I just changed my password on mog station, which seems to have worked for the store as well, and logged out anyone logged in, so i should be fine, right?

That is an unhelpful and reckless thing to say. Maybe particular software is smart enough to do this, but as a whole, people's browsers are clearly not redirecting them away from the scam site, or the scam would not happen.Quote:

If your post was meant to be a joke that you protect yourself by not following the link, it is poorly worded. -
