Scam Alerts! --- Watch out for these scams

[Pailzor]

Update: De-announcementized since the giveaway's been over for awhile.

There's a new scam:

Ah! My Goddess - I actually just caught this scam my self so keep an eye out for random PM's Displaying the Guild's name it also wouldn't hurt if you double check your URLS IF You happen to click on the links.

MillionA_DayGiveawayMule

I'm here advertising one of the best giveaways on Gaia Right now!

It says right in the post I'm not supposed to advertise, but I won't tell anyone if you don't. When you go there, just post or PM the admin and say that Strider referred you, you should get into the guild/club no problem!

http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26171103

Basic explanation of the guild:

~The normal things a guild does, conversation, making friends, things like that
~Dice games
~lotteries
~Occasional free art
~Every day a random member is selected from the one's in there and that member get's 1 million gold!
~Extra gold given for referrals.

If you do decide to join, make sure to say I referred you, and I (my other account) will get more from the guild myself, so everybody wins!

Again, the hidden URL linking to a scam site has been removed

Hello I just wanted to tell you that a wealthy member of Mil-A-Day Giveaway quit and now they are about to give out donations worth well over 5 million gold per day!

Just visit this address: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?gmode=index&guild_id=6228
and post "Revolt" in the contest thread along with the secret code "8ae387d9".
Remember, this is a random invite to the giveaway and if you're not interested, then just disregard this PM.

Thank you,
Staff of Mil-A-Day Giveaway

The link above was actually a cover for a tinyurl link in the coding. From what I've heard, it linked to a site that showed you logged out, with the old Gaia layout on it. Do not log in there, or it'll steal your info.

Yes, it's a scam.
I have no idea who the user was who sent that around, but it definitely was not a crew member.
We, the crew, will not link to a site outside Gaia, claiming it to be within Gaia. Also, we will either refer to ourselves as "crew" or "mods"; never as "staff", because that's not what the guild's memberlist calls our positions.

Also check the guild itself for the list of crew members, either on the front page of the guild, or as listed on the first page of the guild's memberlist. If the username isn't one recognized as crew, then they are not crew, and have no authority in the matter of contests and such.

Even though there are multiple users who are spreading this around
[calibur] and Sachuu are known to be a few of them. Also, don't trust anyone with "MADG" in the their username.

Furthermore, if you receive any variation of this PM, please report it immediately so the moderators can take care of it. Thanks!

Noi @ I see ^^

But when I click on that link it comes to the frontpage of madg, with me login on. Does that mean they can steal my password?  

[Coquilles]

I don't press any link on gaia from people I don't know because I'm always afraid it's a hack attempt xD

If you have to log on, then it's not the front page of the guild.
