how many ppl got this pm ? Saskafrass Hello! I am a mod of Mil-A-Day Giveaway and I'm sending out random PMs to people to make them aware that a wealthy member of Mil-A-Day Giveaway recently quit and kindly decided to donate their wealth to the guild. Now the guild is ready 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 "Golden Ticket" in the contest thread. Remember, this is a random invite to the giveaway and if you're not interested, then just disregard this PM.
Thank you, Mod of Mil-A-Day Giveaway
***This is a scam. Saskafrass is NOT a mod. There are no 5 mil per day contests. If you ever receive a PM like this, report the user immediately. Thank you.*** Edited by `Tahirah

I can guarantee it`s false.
Ignore it & report the person.
EDIT :: It was floating around a couple months ago.

Yep, thats definitley a scam. Be careful, a lot of people try to scam others. Chances are if they are offering free money or something like that, it's a scam.

It's a scam. Believe me.
The link goes to a fake login page which quite possibly has a keylogger on it. =/
Report it. MADG doesn't advertise like that.

mikomihino_25 the link sent me here without logging me out sweatdrop eek It`s. Not. True.
I promise.
This exact message was used several months back. The scammer is probably stupid.
EDIT :: Check the member`s list to see if the person who sent you the PM is even a member, let alone a Mod.

mikomihino_25 the link sent me here without logging me out sweatdrop eek ...then some scammer doesn't know how to do it apperantly.
Still. It's a scam. If we even had this much gold, I'd think Nor or a VC would have told us.
Besides, they're sending it out to non-members of the guild. You can't post in a guild unless you're a member. So they usually hide a link like this http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/index.php?gmode=index&guild_id=6228 , which will redirect you to a fake gaia site.
Report the user, and place on ignore. That scam is definitely one of the older ones. I was just talking about it to someone who recieved it in a charity guild I'm in.
