Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

People keep asking for my password, it's getting really annoying. Three people have PMed me in the last week or so, pretending to be moderators and trying to scare me into giving over my password... it's getting on my nerves really.

If someone has ever asked you for your password, saying that your account has been reported and they need to make sure you don't get frozen, PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO THEM. It says it at the top of most pages: A Gaia Moderator will never never never ever never ask for you password - please believe them.

I'm also annoyed though because these accounts do not seem to be being punished at all - they just move onto another user and scam endlessly...I think the Moderators (the real ones) need to do more to prevent and control the scamming.

These are the usernames of the people that scammed me:
sakura98785 - PMed me with a link that led me to another website that told me I had been reported many times and I needed to enter my account name and password or they would freeze my account.
OG Banning system - PMed me saying I had been tying to hack an account and asked for my password within 10 minutes (they even had the nerve to include a banner warning me of scammers)

omg and too many to count - just ignore them, they suck

I wonder how many more people will ask me for my password...
