I just received this email today.-
--------------------------------------------

Dear, PrincessDarkFire
This is an automated system letter from the Gaia Staff. We are sorry to ask for your password, but we need your password & E-mail to verify that you are a user of Gaia online. You have also been reported of hacking. We will need to check your account, to see if you have ever previously hacked an account. As we said to you before it would be best to give you E-mail followed by your password. In the event that you do not respond to this letter your account well is deleted.

Thank you, from the Gaia Staff.
For your corporation we will give you a free monthly collectible of your choice.
-----------------------------------------------

-If you get one like this report it and do not reply to it. This is a fake, a scam.

You may be temporarily logged out. If you Reach a Success sign you are easily cleared and ready to continue Gaia life.

Username:
Password:
Email(Optional):
Once your account has been verified that it is free of any faults, your e-mail provider will be notified. We thank you for your cooperation. In addition to your cooperation if we find out that you are not the hacker then we shall add 100,000 gold to your account.

Sincerely,

I should've posted the one i recieved... i got it awhile back, but it was basically asking for my password and all that and said if i didn't give it to them i'd be banned. Of course i didn't do anything, just sent them a message that i was reporting them, so i reported them... never did hear anything else from the user or the gaia mods... oh well.
