So the only report option that comes up on the interact menu is the RMT one. Technically, that is true enough for what they were doing. Typically they get control of your account, usually empty your gil and your FCs bank if you have access, and use your account to spread the trap URLs. But there is another option for reporting, if you feel the RMT one isnt accurate. Open the System Menu, then pick the Support Desk option. The Contact Us tab has some more options for filing reports. Obviously not as easy as the right-click/interact menu, but available to use in game nonetheless.

And a good rule of thumb is not to follow any link you get sent in game. Doesnt matter who it comes from, as half the scam is taking over your account to send tells to people who wouldnt suspect that you would be sending them dangerous links. Of course Ddasdfasd Lllsahsiln is a scam character*, but Riverside Orias? That sounds like a real character - because it is.

*Disclaimer - I made up the example scam character name by randomly hitting keys on my keyboard. As far as i know it is not a real character(i did not do a character search to find out), and this was in no way an attempt to name & shame. If this happens to be your characters name, i mean you no offense. Clearly i was talking about some other Ddasdfasd and not you. Also, if this is your characters name could you explain why? I would be legitimately curious why someone who wasnt just making a disposable character for RMT farming/spamming would pick such a name.
