This Peanut Butta Guy Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just a small warning from this new scam I've almost fell into. Pretty much this dude had randomly added me and asked to play a match together, it was suspicious since i've checked his profile. He was level 1 and had very little friends and nothing in his backpack. As soon as he send me a link i wasn't careful enough and clicked it and of course it started downloading a file. I immediately closed the download and scanned my pc. Loungejunkie removed me and set his profile to private. So idk if this is really new or not but this is the first time this happened to me. Never tell your password to anyone. too poor: Hello loungejunkie: hello dude loungejunkie: just added you for one ask too poor: okay loungejunkie: can you play +1 as stand-in for our team pls ? too poor: are you talking about comp? loungejunkie: we will play match loungejunkie: and need 1 player too poor: eh why are you asking me? loungejunkie: btw need 1 palyer loungejunkie: and we played together early too poor: honestly i don't really how you are loungejunkie: http://puuu.sh/(Covering This Shit) (screenshot) loungejunkie: in this server we played together too poor: i don't click any links loungejunkie: screen shot loungejunkie: you cant look it? too poor: no, no matter what it link it is, especally from someone i don't know loungejunkie is now Offline. loungejunkie is currently offline, they will receive your message the next time they log in. too poor: obvious phisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so salty, calm down. I'm sorry for whatever is making you so mad, but that's uncalled for. He was trying to help.

Blatch Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Actually going to puuu.sh reveals a direct link to the dirty file. GG. I would recommend removing the link outright so nobody gets scammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
