Yeah thats pretty bad. Hope know one is suckered in to giving him there char. info.
I like that band, Desaparecidos. oo
It's a big thing right now. People really are doing this, sending tells trying to coax you into giving over your info. Obviously it goes without saying but DO NOT DO IT.
If you even suspect that a person is trying to scam you, call a GM, because they really do have logs and they'll take it from there. I believe they called it "Phishing"(?) on their site just a few weeks ago. Well it's still happening. Couple people I know were /tell'd by random people who don't even show up in the /sea all window anymore that they could get them some uber-rare item if they would give their info away.
Just be careful.

If any of you have ever played Diablo 2 you learn like a 6th sense about someone trying to scam you.
Watch your backs, there are scum in every game.

Warning Regarding "Phishing" and Similar Fraud Schemes
PlayOnline (2/7/2005)
It has come to our attention that some individuals are contacting FINAL FANTASY XI players in-game and referring them to fake websites resembling the official PlayOnline.com (http://www.playonline.com/) site. These sites ask the player to enter their PlayOnline ID and password at the fake website, with the intent of stealing items belonging to the player's character or characters. This practice, commonly known as "phishing," has become very common on the Internet.
We have permanently removed the PlayOnline membership of these players who are responsible for hosting such websites to the attention of the proper authorities, requested further investigation on this issue with the help of the public organization, and have also shut down these sites to protect the FINAL FANTASY XI community.
