It's been a while since I've been on Gaia let alone tried to scam people on it but I had a nice little idea and as far as I know it would be a lot more effective.

rather than tricking them on Gaia with that annoying redirect bar, many users are linked through email updates. My idea would be to get there email address and notify them that someone has tried to access there account so they need to change there password. Most users wouldn't expect a blow like that and would me more careless about it, especially if the email looks official.

Note: make a link that looks like the homepage but all navigation is blocked by a "You're account has been suspended, please reactive via the email we have sent you" and another link to the activation page where they have to enter a new password and whatnot.

But like I said I haven't done this in ages so even this might be outdated by now, who knows.
