Taconinja Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I know this sounds weird and really unlikely, but I was in-game today looking at an unusuals history and wondered why someone had a green name. So I googled it, and clicked on a bp.tf forums link saying something about choosing donor name color. I was then led to an obviously sketchy page saying something about internet servers, and before a steam box popped up saying I had dangerous spyware and to call a number. A voice then repeated in my ear to call this number immediately. Upon calling the number, it no longer existed. Why would a bp.tf forums link lead me to a malware site, and has anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taconinja Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 No one on that link mentioned the spyware message though, or actually getting spyware from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
