Beware of Double XP Twitch phising scam

Well i feel for anyone affected. I think the ugly yellow comic sans font should be a massive red flag.

I know right?

Now excuse me for a moment, I just need to collect my money from this very nice Nigerian Prince so I can go for a night on the town with all the Hot Singles in my area.

The hot singles are real... they have to be... don't take this away from meeeeeee!!! ;_;

I would think so, but some people may be lured in by the prospect anyway and if you don't notice the website url, it does look like one of their login pages.

The fact that this kind of scam is working at all really worries me. Just how gullible people can be?

Sadly this kind of stuff doesn’t surprise me anymore just looking at the stuff people share in Facebook as well as working in IT Support

They're starting up again, please make sure to spread the word.

edit: If a mod sees this, could you correct "phising" to "phishing" in the title. Just notice I forgot the 2nd h and it's going to haunt me.

I am surprised this is getting people. Just take all facts from the Lodestone, then you dont have to worry about people scamming.

Judging from a couple reddit threads, people are still falling for this unfortunately. Please make sure to inform your friends and fc members not to fall for the scam and to change their password immediately if they even think they may have submitted their login information to a 3rd party.

this is why you buy an authenticator its only 10$ and its a one time fee.

Updated the first post. It appears the scammers are now imitating popular ffxiv content creators. Twitch seems to be fairly quick at taking these down now, but keep everyone aware!
