Scary, to say the least. When you add your experience to the rumors floating around on Mardia about things like this happening it is cause for concern. Most people I play with regularly have stopped taking chats or trades from anyone they don't know. With my very limited understanding of the workings of computers and programs I tend to err on the side of caution. (Yes, I am a computer dummy! No real surprise, right?) However, I am not inclined to spread unfounded information, that is one reason I visit this site on a regular basis; I want to stay informed.
I would be interested in knowing what the potential risk is in trading and chatting. I am unable to see the risk, please enlighten me.
As to the banning, it seems to me that this would have to be an error on the part of the GM that tagged you. Lets face it, FM areas are overwhelming in the number of messages popping in at the bottom of the screen. Picking the correct individual out of the masses would be a tedious task that many of us would not like to have to deal with as a job assignment. Unfortunately, the chance of an innocent getting banned is fairly high. I find that buddies, guildies and allies make the best potential buyers when I do not have a shop, in this way I avoid the FM hassles. Hopefully you will receive a positive outcome from your ticket.
