I've never heard of this, but after doing some research it seems it's a pretty common scam.
Apparently the guy used a name VERY similar name to another friend I play with (stalking me?). Well, I never heard of the DnD scam so he asked about my 'rank.' Telling me to type /DnD and then my username and password. Feeling suspicious, I left the room and created a new one of my own and typed the info. He later messaged me "you coming back?" - and that's all it took for him to take all of my gear from my characters.
I'm not going to go into further details (just do a search), but the guy left me with nothing, losing about a year of gear searching (torches, annihilus's, end-game gear, etc.)
Ya, you could call me a sucker and uber noob, but just a reminder to NEVER type your info in game (seems like a no-brainer; but I thought in a private game by myself I'd be safe).
