Beware of "Quitting FFXIV Giveaway" messages

[Vimanis]

Thank you for your concern, Saraide, thankfully I'm password tidy and this is the only place I use that account and password.

To add to this, the player that sent me the message was not a randomly named bot type player or new player, they had a few jobs at level 80, including some DOH/DOL ones near 80. It's possible that character's previous owner also fell for the scam but was not quick enough to realise what happened.

I've filed an in-game report ticket on the support desk with the information on this, hopefully they can investigate this further.

This is indeed the case. If they successfully hack you, they'll clean out your gil, then use your character to continue spreading the scam until the account is locked. This way, account bans don't really affect them.
