If you do not already know, I work here at Gaia as a QA Intern (which I love <3). But I just received this password phishing scam today! I couldn't believe it, and even more so since they sent it to me (STAFF)! Remember, GAIA Staff, mods & admins will NEVER ask you for your password. NEVER EVER EVER!
