I hardly bump into any scammers on gaia.
It's usually n00bs who are scammed though. A few days ago a friend of mine told me how she was scammed on the internet. Now, she's an internet n00b and barely knows how it works. So she was on the internet and a pop-up came up and said that she'd won 7000 SEK and needed to give her credit card details.
And she did. gonk gonk gonk With her uncle's credit card no less, so she actually lost 7000 SEK.
Now, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I heard that. I honestly didn't think anyone was idiotic enough to fall for a scam like that. scream But as I've said, she's an internet noob. stressed
But my point is, other than that I haven't met any people who were scammed and I don't think anyone here has tried to scam me. Or perhaps I haven't noticed. stare

A hacker? Mind elaborating on what it is that she did?
I mean, was it just a password dictionary routed through proxies?

Shinigami Lawliet A hacker? Mind elaborating on what it is that she did? I mean, was it just a password dictionary routed through proxies? She used a keylogger, I don't know too much about hacking, but I know how to stop it now...

Ooh... That could have turned out incredibly poorly. I wonder how it is that she downloaded it to your PC though...

By being a b***h, she pretended to be my friend and told me to go to a website, I did, and some weird s**t happened, so I closed it out, shut off the comp, etc. like I did when I saw the ninjas attacking my comp (I think that one was a dream but ninjas stole all the text off my comp............. long story)

Do you have this name?
Banning-System-Report
This moron tried to say that he needed to have my account details, so he could check he wasn't a scammer. He also said I would recieve 50k once I was cleared. Didn't take me long to find the report button...

gaminggutter32 HAH! I knew any (MOD)investigater would be caught. Who'd be stupid enough to believe a MOD who can't spell the name of his duty correctly? Never mind, Chatterbox often has the answers to this question.... (by the way, 'gaminggutter32' is in that list twice)

I just got this message:
We are sorry to inform you but your account has been brought to our attention. Your account has been REPORTED and needs to be investigated for further information. Like any other Gaia Moderator, we don't normally ask for this information but to clear your report we need to. If you fail to cooperate then you agree to these charges and we will take steps in closing your account. You will be asked a few questions to verify that this is your account. Please fill out the information requested.
Username-
Pasword-
E-Mail Address-
Once your account has been verified that its free of faults, your e-mail provider will be notified when your account investigation is over. We thank you for your patience. If you do not reply in the next 24 hours there will be a 6 month ban.
Please do not submit PM reports for swearing, attitude, or issues not covered in the Gaia Online ToS. Additionally, please do not submit this form multiple times for the same PM, abuse this reporting tool, or spam this form with meaningless information.
PM: 5247260.09381487
Sincerely, the Gaia Online Investigators
This was my reply:
Oh sweet lord, I'm sorry, honey, but this isn't gonna work on me. You see, admins NEVER ask for password info. Also, their names are now colour coded.
Why would you need my username and email address? If you sent this PM, you must have known my username! I take it you want my email address so you can nose at my Amazon purchases?
Why did you put the message in orange and the word REPORTED in caps? That just screams n00b. You spelled message wrong in the subject, by the way. There are no gaia online investigators. Why would there be a sixth month ban? I love how you've asked me not to submit this form multiple times for the same PM, abuse this reporting tool, or spam this form with meaningless information. That is irony in it's funniest form.
By the way, REPORTED!
