Pretty sure they are not forcing your internet offline. That's not possible, it's just kicking your character off the server because you cannot have two active computers running on the same account.

If they log into the phishing site, they give the hackers their IP, and they get DDOS'd, which does knock their internet offline. Its a pretty common thing that they do around here, tbh.

people REALLY need to stop buying gil, because thats what promotes this.

thats not what the OP said, apparently, it was just a /tell they were hacked through... they wouldnt click on a link... nope...

That's what the OP said happened, yes. The question is whether they're telling us everything, because the key step between "I received a tell" and "they kicked me offline" is generally following the link and entering your password.

But then that isn't "more aggressive", that's just business as usual.

So one way or another, OP's story doesn't add up.

Because the government is made up of rich people. They would be taxing themselves.

People who click these links can't be helped. You can't fix stupid. Maybe just maybe, it's too good to be true because it is.

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

they are, but if so, why waste your time scamming poor people in a video game? why not send a text to a bank chief, or head of a country?

this made me laugh so much my face hurts... I should sue...

This is the best response of the week I've read in this forum.
Thank you, I love you.
