If you realise your account has been stolen, change your password immediately. Same goes if you get a message in-game saying that someone else has logged into your account and you're being disconnected, even if you've never given your details away. I had this message and changed my password, despite never speaking to anyone about my account details.
For a secure password, use capital letters and numbers. If someone gets hold of your account name, it doesn't take long for them to use particular software to find out your password if it's a word found in the dictionary with no capital letters or numbers. A made up word with capital letters and numbers in it is the safest option.

Even if the person you are talking to seems like they're making an actual offer,
always assume they'll hack you, reject, and don't look back. It'll make a safer Caribbean if scammers can't convince anyone to give them their details. These messages are unlikely to stamp out scammers, but they can help to stamp out scamm

Thank you for the warning, Kat, because I didn't realise that scamming happened so often. We should all keep a lookout, and know when we're being scammed.
