Because I don't believe that you want the guy who scammed you to be made a GM I moved this topic from GM Community suggestions to player talk. (Not support because when you enter your password in a phishing site noone can help you)

I can't believe that there are still people falling for that scam. But better you learn about phishing now through losing just an account in an online game instead of learning about it later by losing your bank account or credit card number to a phisher.

Would this be the same site that you told me about more than a week ago, and which I told you was a blatant attempt to steal login information and accounts?

I'm sorry to hear that such a nasty thing happened to you. As Crush says, though, this is a valuable lesson. Be suspicious if people (or Internet sites) you don't know ask you for login information for some other place. Never ever give it to them.
At least it was a game account this time, and not your bank account.

the same way you did before. earn them. just go melee red slimes until they drop what you need. you can get gloves, boots, a hat, and a knife from them. from there, just keep killing them and selling stuff until you have enough to buy some better gear.

The question is: how can we educate users to not enter their password into some shady web form?

Me and others did quite a lot of ingame broadcasts in the past warning people of these phishing sites, but obviously there are still people who either didn't read or didn't understood these.

What else can we do?

@Crush:

Would people pay attention to big red warnings at the top of the News, so they read it each time as they log in?

Yep, although expanding a bit from time to time, Universe is a physics finite entity.
Humanity is evolving in fat and stupidity really way faster ...
