Private messages with suspicious links

Where to report about that? Didnt see in game section for this.

Use the in game option of Support/Report Harassment, title it "Received Phishing Link in private message", copy/paste the message and time stamp, and provide the full date and local time in the report.
You will get a reply from Support a bit later.

Do people really fall for this? Don’t you have to copy and paste the link to go to it?

Yes and yes

If people didn't fall for it, then there wouldn't be any phishing attempts.
Just think; for everyone that is on average stupid, half of the rest of them are stupider than that.

It's like pickup artists that are cringe as hell.
The truth is that it works.

But how it works is that they just hit on so many women that they end up getting a catch.
If you go out and hit on 100 women there's probably bound to be at least one who's desperate or a weirdo.

This is also how these scams work, ofc the overwhelming majority of people don't fall for them.
But if you send out thousands of emails about how you're a Nigerian Prince then eventually you'll end up sending it to someone who's actually that dumb.

Usually they are are sending these tells from some players hacked account. They've gotten so brazen and whenever I get these, I usually send them a tell back saying, "Do you know you're being reported right now for hacking some poor players account?" They quickly poof and log out.

Yes, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Tbh it's kinda elaborate, the link there if you only read the beginning may seems legit until the -yv.eu
I do get why some would fall for that, but yeah never click on link from users you have no idea who they are, or out of the blue.
Btw i suggest you to remove the name in your screenshot, you're not allowed to show names in screens even if they're scammers.

I usually just right-click "Report RMT Activity" on these.
... and it kinda is. They're trying to steal your login stuff, and if you've got any significant amount of gil, sell it for real money.
