Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've been a member of gaia for over 3yrs, I never thought a hacking could happen to me, I was so careful. Then out of nowhere, all my hard earned items GONE. 3yrs worth of items gone in less than 15mins. Now that I'm slowly getting back on my feet. I have about 67k, which I would once consider a lot, but, compared to how much more I need to get my stuff back... Well I'm just totaly paranoid I'm going to get hacked again. I mean, I've disabled pm's completly, deleted almost all the friends that I don't know in real life, I change my password like everyday, but when I go to sleep I wonder if my stuff will be there when I wake up. I mean this is ridiculous, it's just a game.

uumm, I don't understand what you're trying to say

i was hacked like 4 weeks ago and now when somebody like a scammer comes along i tell the gaia stuff people right away because i really don't like scammers and i change my password everyday

I was hacked a while ago and i didnt really have anything great but loads of money and i was soo mad and now when i get on i change my password so often and i make it really long.

I think whats mre paranoying is that when you get scammed, you become wary of every trade that you do afterwards.
My advice on that is just don't do mulitple trades, especially with a new account that has expensive items, unless you can see how many posts the person has made, see all their comments on their profile and if there are other reasonably older accounts knowing the person and they can back it up that its a mule or what not.
But simply remember the golden rule
If it seems to good to be true, then it most probably is.
