I've had quite a few similar ones, such as claiming your account has been hacked or for botting. So whenever I get one, I quickly report them ASAP. Hate it when those dirtbags randomly do that! Grr! >_<#

You'd think people would pay attention to the fact that Gaia never asks for Passwords or use their heads..>.>;

I know :c But they still manage to trick people. This one tricked a few people until the bad punctuation was pointed out. The word "watchword" instead of "password" was a new one though.

Thank you for sending out the warning, I don't understand why people try to ruin others enjoyments for sites and games like that.

I got a similar one to this and I reported it. It asked me to change both my Gaia password and my Email password. And a warning to you all it may look legit, but mods NEVER ask for any personal info! It is a scam if it does. Be careful everyone.

They can't even get all their punctuation in order. It's a bit sloppy. Also...watchword. xD

Makes me think of this old pop-up window I kept getting on Gaia a year or two ago. Kept demanding that I sign back in. ^>_o>

I got hacked a couple years ago, actually. I had clicked a link and well there you go. Had to send in a report. Luckily I knew who the user was and I received my 400k back along with a missing item.
