Another post thats spot on Del! I've also seen this occur in Potco as well as having young players approach me telling me of similar instances and asking for instructions on how to report such behavior. I've also witnessed attempts to phish account info from players in game attempting to get player login details. This is an area where I'm glad that Disney keeps a watchful eye in protecting the younger players.

I've been a game moderater on a non Disney game site and I think I can say that this sort of thing happens in all online games. Predators, Phishers, Scammers, etc...
Our game chat on that other site was not filtered as it is on Potco and I've seen young players post their phone numbers and home addresses as well as their emails in public chat. I've also busted a few predators on that other game. In these online games you never know who is on the other end of that avatar, could be a 6 year old or an 80 year old and they may not be a very nice person.

Not only is it the duty of the Mods in game but also the duty of us adult players to try to keep the kids safe. and report inappropriate behavior.
