Warning , new phishing link being whispered to players - dont fall for it

The report RMT function does work for these guys.

I just wish they'd broaden the scope of quick reporting to include other types of bots.

we did that and now waiting, she still has the email adress of the account but the scammer used the one time password system so she can not change the password without it.

They should be able to identify the account even by product key or character.

Its sad a lot of people fall for this. 300M gil raffle? Sounds too good to be true c’mon now. You can’t be THAT gullible thinking its legit. But sorry for those that happened to them getting their account hacked and stuff.

TO be fair the same just happened to me, i was super tired and didnt give it a second thought at first, but then quickly changed my password two to three times adding 2 factor just to be sure, i seem to have dodged quiet the bullet if i do say so myself

[MisterBigglez]

I've been hacked by this it seems. They added a one time password to my account

[Tranquilmelody7]

The sad thing is I have received this tell from several players that had all classes at maxed levels

Some of the even had a comment for search info

I don't think that will prevent you from getting your account back as long as you have access to certain credentials the phishers wouldn't.

Definitely report the player that whispers this to you , they are using compromised accounts to further scam people out of their log in details which happens if you go to that fake link because it will ask you for your SE account log info.

Considering they are almost always a legit player's account being hacked I'm a little hesitant to report them. If possible, I would contact anyone who happens to know the character in question first so they could notify the owner. But if all else fails...report. Sadly, some things must be done for the greater good.

The issue is apparently known enough by the GMs that the accounts will just get suspended instead of permabanned.

It's just a pity there isn't really any way they can deal with this permanently. Even though people aggressively report the phishing links they constantly acquire new domains to create them under.
