Yeah, that's pretty common knowledge. It's a shame people still fall for that.

This reminds me of that thread about the "friend list virus" person. =/

Make sure to add a poll. =O

 

[0Moon_Maiden0]

Thank you for your warning and concern. ^_^

my Cousin got one like that i laughed and told her to report it.  

[Red Groovy Kroovy]

I have a bad feeling that this is going to be deleted  

[Moonlight_HuangHou]

Nah no worries. I won't delete it. ^_^" Did I delete the other thing?
Honesly...I didn't hear about these ones in a while now. I guess new members might still fall for it though.

Um...I was thinking of locking b/c everyone can read it still if needed but I'll just leave this topic be. sweatdrop

EDIT: OH ok! The reason I was gonna delete the other one is b/c she was asking for people to pass that message on to others through PM (chainletters). Which I don't like. (encouraging chain mail.) ^^

((I re-checked teh other topic out of curiosity. ^^))  

[Funem]

maybe we can leave this one open to update with the new versions as they come out including faux ISPs (if accessible) and quotes of the message and the "from" name. Reporting them not only to Gaia but to each other is the best way to stay informed. smile  

[Moonlight_HuangHou]

I'll leave it be. Doesn't hurt. ^_^"
But by the time another comes out this thread may be old. Best to just make a new thread.
Thanks. 3nodding  

[Angel Mechanholy]

Thanks for the heads up.  

[Pickles And Pretty Ponies]

I get stuff like that all the time...  

[Death Shikaku]

Funny. My friend fell for one someone sent him. Suprisingly, after a week, he didn't lose any items. The guy who sent him that PM must've been banned. Haha.

Anyways, I once got one of these asking for everything that guy asked you, except my password. If you want my password, why would you NOT ask for it? (Although I wouldn't give you it anyways...)
