Subject: The Mods Of Gaia!
I'm sorry to inform you but your account has been brought to our attention, the mods of gaiaonline. Your account has been reported and needs to be investigated, to see if someone hacked you or not . Like any other Gaia Moderator, we do not want to ban any account for no reason so we just want to help some innocent people out. You will be asked a few questions to verify that this is your account. Please fill out the information requested. If you do not fill out the information requested immediately your account will result in a Perma-Ban.
E-Mail Address:
Birth Date:
Password:
This is to verify that this is your account not a hacker in your account, also don't just tell us you are not a hacker then prove it and answer the questions. Thank you
Sincerely,

Reading all the security info, I felt this was a hacker. When I tried to bring up this ryunebishoo's profile, I got a green, blank profile page.
Opinions?

One word: SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As the mods state (so often that we Gaians sometimes overlook it), a mod will NEVER ask for your password. Besides, if you directly copied the message, then you'll note that there is a space before one period - very unprofessional. A real mod would have wanted to save face and have given the message a quick skim, which would have caught and fixed that small error.
These paired with the blank profile page (even Lanzer and Vo have them!) tells me that this person is a scammer and that you should report them ASAP. Good luck and bye for now! ^_^

I agree with Aurah. Plus - "your account (...) needs to be investigated, to see if someone hacked you or not" -> why would the mods ban you if you're the victim? I'm glad you noticed there was something amiss and reported the b*****d! scream

May I also point out the absolutely horrendous grammar, the horrible word choice, and the idiotic sentence structure? Who ever wrote this is most likely in their early teens, and still incapable of writing properly. A mod would never let something this badly constructed be sent out.

PyroAurah Besides, if you directly copied the message, then you'll note that there is a space before one period - very unprofessional. This is completely unrelated to the topic, but I started wondering. I was under the impression that that rule was only applied when you use a typewriter? Because computers (theoretically) insert a bigger space automatically? Or is this another one of those English-only quirks?
