If you get a PM with something like this in it, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION! REPORT THEM RIGHT AWAY.

EDIT: If you have examples of them being sent to you, feel free to share them with us in here.

I am sorry to inform you that one of your fellow gaians has reported you for hacking. It is my duty to investigate matters like these. All I need for you to do is send me your password and username to me via a Pm or this email:gaiaadminastrators@gmail.com. After I respond to your response, you will need to log out for a short while. I promise nothing will be changed in your account as long as I found nothing suspicious.


I had gotten that message last night.
These messages tend to make me laugh that people would go that low as to try and hack others.

We have recived a few reports of you hacking accounts on Gaia. In order to avoid an immediate ban, we require your password to check your trade history. If you take longer then five minutes to respond to this warning, your account will be permanently banned. Unless you are offline at the time. In that case, you will have a 24 hour time period to do so. If you chose to cooperate and we find you guilty, your ban will only be temporary. But if you choose to disobey, your account will lose all of its rights and your IP will be blocked from our site. We would not be asking for your password if this were not serious, regardless of the message at the top. This is not a hoax. Your time starts now. We cannot access your account because of a block in the system that stops us from accessing your accounts. The creator of Gaia was afraid that admins and mods would mess with peoples profile. This is not a hoax.

Sincerely,
The Gaia Administrators
