So, someone is apparently going around contacting private server admins on discord claiming to be an AH mod. "We're cleaning up threads related to RMT on your server" or some such. They'll try to get you into a Discord call for reasons I can't begin to imagine. Obviously this is ***, but just putting this out there in case. If you run into this, please let me know.
h/t to the people who sent me screenshots and asked for verification before doing anything

That's just the newest scam going around afaik, I've had a couple of those DMs from people in servers completely unrelated to FFXI.
I thought this was a thread where we could impersonate moderators. /disappointed

Hmm, I've never been impersonated before to my knowledge. Do they at least get our names right? Which one is impersonating Kojo?

That's genuinely the weirdest part. Of all the things to impersonate... that?

Morons more easily fall victim to someone they know or of some "authority"
It's better than Nigerian prince. Go on youtube and be mrbeast. Go on an xi discord and be r00ks. Know your audience.

1. It is truly amazing that we have scammers with such esoteric knowledge as to impersonate NA ffxiah Mods, and then attempt some questionable activity around that.
2. I am not certain what their goal was. Unless they were phishing for info or something. Its not like ffxiah is a paid-for service lol.

Any woman that reaches out to you online without introduction is a dude. Or a scammer. Probably both.

When I ran my server this stuff would happen at least once a week, I never could figure out what the angle of their scam must have been.

I spit out my coffee lol.
Are those the rare mog house furnishings? I know there's some rare ones that only came around once in a while.
Don't believe so. But require some level of woodworking to craft... I recall cause you need to do a bunch as part of the shield quest. Though I think that was just one type of them. I believe there are 3 if you count the goldfish bowl.

Reverse image search.
Prob likely stolen onlyfans. Or just something taken online (scammers are fairly low effort).
