this is where I'll post things that I'm thinking or anything I feel like sharing with the world! Basically your passport into my head. So kick back and listen to the random ramblings from the voices in my head! XD
report code!
6964057

The numbers I recieved for a report I did on a scammer. I figured why not warn others too about this report officer imposter! Let me show you the message he sent me!

Now contrary to what the date of my joining says I am a seasoned gaian and I know how to tell the difference from a fake and a real gaian staff member. However some don't and I think it is important to show some of the warning signs.

exclaim Sign #1:

gaian staff members will have their names in a special color so you will be able to tell if they are a fake or the real thing!

They don't have special cases! They follow the same format for anyone who is reported and if you are a "special case" then you are a targeted victim!

There is no way they would ask you to do this over PM and they even tell you how to fill it out so that it won't be blocked! This is another red flag.

The icing on the cake. They say they'll give you gold for giving your personal information! If anything should tell you it's a fake that should! They're trying to bribe you out of your account! The gaian administration would never do this so don't give it a second thought.



I hate this to be my first journal but at least it's helpful. If anyone else receives a message like this make sure to report it! I don't want anyone to get hurt by things like this so do your part and make sure their taken care of. Thank you for stopping by and have a good/safe day! heart
