there are idiots among you who no matter how many times you tell them, they will go to that site and fill in their information.

I will say, good job and alerting others, you deserve a cookie...

Anyone falling for this do not deserve to have gils in the first place. Taking money away from them is only natural.

I am glad to see a warning here. If nothing else, for parents who may not be up on the latest scams and can now educate their kids about it.

It is my experience that most of the players in this and other games are in their mid teens and above(there is a 70yr old player on cerberus) and would know better than to go to a website like that...but occassionally you get a player 9-10-11 yrs who has access to game and internet and will go to the Scam-site and think nothing of it.I have also met the not so computer savy player, who does not understand the pitfalls of going to the "wrong website" and goes there and gets in trouble. There are also some new players coming into the game and they need to be educated as well.

IF you hear of something like this share the news (be honest..no pranks)someone will appreciate the heads up.

Leave it to RTM's to have bad spelling.

Although I do not know of anyone stupid enough to fall for this, it does seem like a sad way to lose your account, RL money and spend the next 10 years trying to fix your Credit Score.


I laughed a little because you said "RTM" and "bad spelling" in the same sentence.

70yr old play is cool, not only can he remember back to when having 1 75 was super cool, he can remember rationing and stuff!!
