giraffe Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 So I just got this invite after bumping my unusual trade on outpost, and this person added me (for obvious reasons, I've blocked out the full url, please don't visit the website): This seems way more dangerous, because that URL actually links to a .scr file (functions the same as .exe files) instead of an image. And when people see .scr and scrnsht, they usually assume it's an image. I've also gotten another add maybe 12 hours ago, but it was a guy saying he wants to trade my unusuals for his "dota 2 unusuals" and said he wants to show me pictures of it, then proceeded to link to the same site but with a different filename that does the exact same thing. I think a lot of people would fall for this more than the random "my friend wants to trade you blahblah", because you wouldn't really suspect an image of being some kind of possible keylogger or malware.

Stitzy Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 yeah someone did that to me, i thought it was legit at first but im very cautious when people send me links too good to be true i think "yeah i did a free thing for you!" <----- legit as fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usurper_King? Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 If someone adds you and the first thing they try to get you to do is click a link they sent no matter what it is 100% a phishing link, people need to understand that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
