    Scam Warning

    There are pm's being sent to players about a 300mil giveaway you just have to post a number in a forum thread, they also ask you to help by passing the link along.

    This is not legit, the site looks like the ff forums but it is just a trick to get your login info. Normally i'd spot em but thanx to only having 3 hours sleep due to having to work early today i missed it and logged into the thing, quickly realised after it wasn't legit.

    Luckily i have authenticator setup on my account so the login details on there own were usless and i changed by password quickly so i dodged a bullet there.

    I'm embarassed to have fallen for that since i know better than to paste a link then login without checking it's legit first, so i decided to post about it here to warn others not to fall for it.

    We really don't need the 500th thread on this matter. Or at least create a "Scam Megathread" and post everything there. At any rate if people still fall for this they deserve it.
