So I got a message today from someone with the name Virus-Scanner 2014-2016. In the message it's telling me my account has been reported for having a virus and if I do not reply in 48 hours, my account will be closed. They ask for a lot of personal information like my password and email, which I will never feel comfortable handing out.
I'm assuming this is a fake message, and I'm in no real danger. Has anyone else gotten a message like this? How do I report it to the gaia community?

I think there's like a report button on the message and hell yeah that's freaking scaming.

Just go click on the mail and there should be a red button or something next to the delete button that says "Report this P.M" and I'm guessing you can report the user too.

Hello I'd like to tell you that that is indeed a fake message. Gaia will never ask for your password by e-mail, Pm, etc. Report the person immediately. The report button is the red button next to the delete button. Here are some safety tips to help you recognize scams. Please be careful with these kind of messages.
