Has anyone ever recovered their stolen gil? Any advice?

OP I'm curious, after years of being careful about suspicious links, what was it about the one that gave you trouble that made you break your habit of ignoring them?

That is a good question I am also curious. I also ignore them but if someone else that has largely ignored them and was convinced otherwise would like to know if they changed up anything to make it seem more realistic.

This announcement at the beginning of each FFXIV session may have let me drop my guard:

The Moogle Treasure Trove The Hunt for Law event is underway until patch 5.3 maintenance. Details: https://sqex.to/5vczI

I followed that link before and reached an official page with useful information.

To be completely fair, that is already in your chat officially the second you log into the game, though not in /tell form. They would have no reason to message you about it privately, which they never have with anyone regarding these things as far as I'm aware.
