I just got an email from PlayOnline (since my site is part of the community), and it had a notice about some people committing fraud in the game. I thought I should post it here.

Warning Regarding PlayOnline ID and Password Frauds
------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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.

Please do not become a victim of "phishing." DO NOT disclose your PlayOnline ID or password to anyone other than the official PlayOnline.com (http://www.playonline.com/) website.

*The only exception is when dealing directly with a PlayOnline Information Center representative via the PlayOnline Service & Support Web Chat system. You may be asked for your PlayOnline ID or registration code in such cases.

Also note that no Square Enix representative (Game Master (GM) staff included) will ever ask you to provide your ID or Password from within a game or via e-mail. If you have experienced such issues, please contact our Information Center or the Game Masters (GM) for further consultations.

Keep your data safe! Keep your PlayOnline ID and Password secure!

Surprising that people will go to those lengths just to get themselves more fake money.

I want to make a blender that advertises "Stick Penis Here to get pleasured by this blender" I wonder how many dumbasses would do it.

Somebody would, and then they would sue you. Because any incredibly stupid act will inevitably be followed by a lawsuit.
 
someone did it on this server... stole astral rings vermillion and elemental staffs from someone, sold them.. then made a new character... leveled it up, and stole Sniperring +1s and a peacock charm. This person borrowed them from a member in their static and sold them. I hope this person gets their ass handed to them with this policy.
 
Nothing's happening, am I supposed to push one of the buttons? Frappe sounds sexy....
