A friendly reminder about bad links!

[Mhaeric]

This tell has been going around for around a week or so now at least with slightly different amounts and sometimes has a link to a YouTube video instead. I always hope people are smart enough to recognize clear phishing attempts like these and not fall for it, but unfortunately there always must be some who do otherwise the scammers wouldn't bother trying.

If Square-Enix is going to run a promotion like this it would be advertised through the launcher not in-game. On the off chance they did announce it in game it would only be in the system message when you log in, or possibly (but very unlikely) a system announcement like they do with the Eorzea Live videos. It would never be through a tell, particularly one from someone that doesn't have the GM title in front of their name and in the GM text colour.
