You must know this information. Its very informative and help you to protect your account from hacks and scams.
Usually, there is a group of people around the scammer eagerly asking him or her to donate large sums of gold. He or she says "just PM me your password and I'll add the gold to your account." After the password is given, the scammer tells the victim to log off then log back on to see their gold. By this time it's too late. When they log out they won't be able to log back in.
What makes this all the more convincing is the fact that the group of people around the scammer appear to be getting gold. They leave the room then show back up with an expensive item on. Then they say thank you so much for the gold!" The scammer may even log in as a victim and say "look it worked!" to prove to the other people in the room that it's not a scam.
Noobs often fall for this and PM the scammer their password. Sometimes, however, an older member will fall for it as well. The scammer will change the victim's password and email address so that he or she won't be able to log on again. They may even tell everyone on the victim's friend list that they've been hacked and to send them gold for an extra profit. This is a very effective scam and can be performed over and over again using the same identity which is the scammer's mule account. Often times whole rooms of people can be hacked!
