Was afk in Limsa overnight and woke up to 3 whispers, 1 from someone on my friends list on a different server, all asking to go to youtube to check their video and some million gil giveaway.
These guys are trying to get you to visit that youtube video and click that link. It looks like a lodestone account login page but it's a fake one, and once you login your information to that page they can pretty much take over your account.
These guys are using the hacked account's friends list to send messages now so be careful.

I posted about this a few weeks ago with some people on twitch doing the same thing. Link for giveaway in Streamers info etc so all seems legit. Then they steal all your gil, what they dont tell you is the gil giveaway is your gil lol.

Wouldnt surprise me if these RMT sites are trying new methods to gain gil maliciously to then sell...
If something sounds too good to be true, it -almost always- is and that is by now basic (internet) knowledge. Honestly the ones who fall for this... ignorant or hiding under a rock? -
02-29-2020, 02:06 AMVahlnirYeah. The one and only time I ever fell for something like this was over 10 years ago when I started playing WoW. Got a whisper from what I thought was a GM about signing up for a mount and stuff. Got to the page, put my info in, next day I find out I've been hacked. Never again after that. I ordered an authenticator straight away. Sometimes it takes learning a lesson the hard way, but in this day and age I would also think that such knowledge would be commonplace.Quote:
