if u get messages asking for ur password heres a few things that u can do to check to make sure theyre real

1.real people from gaia dont have their avi deleted

2.their profile shouldnt be private if its a real person from gaia

3.in ur messages their name should be orange

tip: they shouldnt even ask for ur password because they already know ur password

tip: if u set ur messages to friends only ur friends can message u and so can the admin to prevent fakes for sending u fake messages asking for ur password
