i thought They Were only attacking PC users but i got a Tell From a "GMwtf" On PS2 yesterday during Merit, was weird yet funny.

Sorry you had that happen to you but Common Sense Should have kicked in. did you try /telling them back to see wtf was wrong? im pretty sure if you did something wrong the "GM" would warped you away from where ever you were to discuss the problem.

Well let it be a listen learned :/

Good luck getting your Character Back.. SE starting to Fail at returning Accounts :(

As interesting as this is on the social Darwinism scale... No one deserves to be hacked. These people shouldn't have to perform circus acts merely to secure their accounts.

I'll agree that for the seasoned vets in FFXI, this scam is obvious. But what about the people that are just starting out? Or, like the OP, never dealt with a GM? These scammers/phishers are getting more and more clever. For the non-internet savvy players, that website looks pretty legit. We can't assume that we are all tech savvy /b/tards that know all that is on the internet. Remember the people you deal with everyday in real life... now superimpose that on the FFXI gaming world.
2)stare in slack-jawed amazement
3)???
4)Profit!

Again, people need to pay attention. But at the same time, to the not so tech savvy, I can see how this could get more and more troublesome to avoid.

I'm gonna get that security token. I don't care if it doesn't actually provide any real extra security, I just want to feel safer.

So, 30 mins ago, i was sat in gustav tunnel. I get a tell come through saying "GM gnSANNI>> This is GmSanni. Your account has been reported as being involved in an act of theft. Please go to www.playonline-enix.com to confirm membership. If not resolved serious action will be taken on your account". So' i did. Entered my details, 2 seconds later, i was booted from game, cos it was logged in elsewhere.

NOW, before you all start to flame me...

I was on holiday, and out of game for a week up until friday, so havent heard about all the fake tells being sent. And the main reason i responded, was that i switched servers yesterday, so i thought it might be coz of that.

Anyway, after the 1st boot from game, i managed to get back in, and called a gm. Was halfway through explaining to them, and got booted again. Now, my password has been changed, and i cant even get back into the POL viewer. So far they havent managed to get online with my char, as my husband keeps checking my name. I think my token must be the only thing keeping them out....


was the tell kinda like this?

No way they can put [GM] before the >> marks unless they do line breaks and try to get it to look legit by starting on a new line

So yea, SE need to insta fix people getting hacked this way, ridiculous y'all gotta wait on the phone AND weeks for roll backs

People get tricked by scams everyday. It should really come as no surprise that they get tricked in a game as well. There is a saying, if you make something idiot proof someone will make a better idiot. What it comes down to is people being to question something and using a lil common sense. But sense is not common sadly ; (

Yeah, You're right Linkk. I think I got a bit sidetracked from the OP getting hacked by a false GM tell, to getting hacked in general. The main thing with the tells, it should only catch the people that have never talked to a GM, are new, or the utterly braindead. Seeing as the new and braindead can't be helped, nor do they have anything the RMTs would want, we gotta focus on the GM noobs :)

GMs will never threaten your account with closure without first warping you to that Mordion Gaol place thingy.
