Anyway that is not the point of this rant... no instead I go login and sure enough I see I have a PM in my mail box, ^^, I love getting PM's from my friends, so I skip my daily chance just to see who it is as soon as possible!
Apparently I have a message from the moderator staff saying I have been REPORTED, and unless I give him my user name, password, e-mail address, blood type and my sizes I have plead guilty to the "charges"(none of which were listed... nothing that shold draw mod attention like breaking the PG 13 rating on the site, being involved in some scam, hurting someones feelings because I was not being PC ... nothing?) and will therefore will be banned.
Now just so you know why I am posting this, I have been getting these in my Inbox now every other day for about a month, ever since I returned to and started posing again on Gaia.

This is my mule account, I wanted to send you an offer, but I wanted it to be anonymous, Please click on this >link to an off site page... where the address does not even look like Gaia's that will ask you to log in again due to something going wrong< and vote for me I will send you 23 million gold pieces.
Yes I do work hard to look nice and I enjoy drawing other peoples attention and comments on my appearance, but all I seem to attract anymore are the weirdos that would probably rob me blind, strip me nakid, then leave me dieing and alone in a bush off some side road... I don't want that! I don't think the people that know and love me want that, so why do they think that it is a good idea? If I have something you want just come out and say it! "HOLY SH*T I like your horns, Can I have them?", "Wow that tail is rare, I want it, Can I have it?" now I doubt I would give them up, but I think that is why the hackers are after me! I mean look at me, what am I wearing that is a store bought item... waiting... still waiting... exactly nothing, so dress in solid rares make it look good and the hackers are all over you, I did buy, two, three things I wear, the bubbles(was an accident buying an item for my friend) the demonic anklets and the dark halo... all were bought with the proceeds from the letter I sold... I don;t have a lot of gold, I have some old items, and an EMPTY inventory! all I have is what I wear! Note to the hackers: What you see is ALL I got!
I want to keep dressing this way, but should I keep getting bothered like this I think I might just change into a set of store bough clothing and try to blend into the masses of n00blets... Is anyone else feeling the same way, or am I just burnt out and therefore mentally unstable, again!?!
Maybe I should just keep track of the number of these scams I get and use is as a way to see if people like my attempt at making an avatar... yes, the psychiatrist said to be optimistic... "When in doubt optimism."
I know I know cheese_whine cheese_whine cheese_whine I am just a little more than a little saddened by this whole scamming ring, I mean really the fact they think I am dumb enough to fall for these pretty looking yet lame attempts to steal my Gaia ID sweatdrop can I hurt them IRL?

If I offended anyone who has been tricked by one of these I am sorry, but you honestly could not have bother reading the message, or the warnings that are posted all over the PM service... I hope they catch the person(s) responsible, you get your items back, etc. but whatever happens you did give them your information. You opened the door and let the wolves into your home!
Should I have offended the people that are sending these messages... GOOD, YOU DESERVE TO FEEL LIKE THE *explicative removed* YOU ARE SHOVELING! I hope you get banned, and your items get given to the people you have ripped off, then for your owns sake I prey you wake up, pull your head out of your arse and think 'Oh man I really *explicative removed*ed up that time, maybe I should try and do this the right way, then I might enjoy the whole Gaia community'
And last but not least. To any of the Mods that either get this as a reported item or just stuble across it and read this or the previous post, should you find any swearing or such explicit content, send me a PM with what I did not catch, if I can I will fix it, or just pull the thing and I will know what happened. Right now I could not care if anyone really reads it, just wanted to get my thoughts on this issue off my chest, and I did not want to bother the forums with a heated personal matter.
