Home » Games News » Warning Regarding PlayOnline ID and Password Fraud
It has come to our attention that certain individuals are referring players to fake FINAL FANTASY XI websites resembling the log-in page of the Linkshell Community site in an attempt to steal (also known as "phishing") the PlayOnline ID and password. We are currently investigating and working to take the appropriate actions against these malicious websites.
Be careful with your information so as not to become a victim of "phishing." Be sure to access the official PlayOnline website (http://www.playonline.com/) first when accessing PlayOnline services through a website. Do not disclose the PlayOnline ID or password to anyone or attempt to log-in anywhere other than the official FINAL FANTASY XI Linkshell Community and PlayOnline 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 the PlayOnline ID or registration code in such cases.
Also, please note that Square Enix representative (Game Master (GM) staff included) will never ask players to log into an external website within the game. If you experience such a request while in-game, please report the matter to a GM immediately.
Keep your data safe! Keep the PlayOnline ID and Password secure!
