Here's the thing. This is consistently reported and has been going on for nearly a full year now. Unfortunate players fall for this and lose their account, gil, fcs or whatever.

Square legit doesn't care. Why would they. The message is in its 5th iteration of the phishing scam and breaks my heart everytime I see a player account spread that message.

There is info about scams but its oddly a link buried in the information about twitch scams. Who the heck would think to click on that on lodestone?

Got into a discussion with a friend one day. If someone were to take them to court I think square would lose because this is ongoing and their general warning is a link buried in a topic about something not related to in game at all.

Its a case of the game getting too big and them not caring at all about their playerbase. Heck I remember when bots used to be able to pm. They knew about it but it didn't change till yoshi p got a pm one day
