Cyborg-Rox Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) So my Youtube channel just got spammed by a bunch of identical comments saying this: Spoiler Hello, We were offering gift coupons worth $100 of amazon, itunes and google playstore to 10 random people from comments. Claim your gift voucher : [link removed] (Expiry Date : 1st May, 2016) It seemed very dodgy at first, but looking at the website, I'm not sure, it looks and sounds pretty legit, so I'm posting about it here to see if anyone else knows about this. I don't want to risk anything here, so if you've dealt with this before, and know about it, please tell me. Legit, or virus?

OverlordMcGeek Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) wants you to download something after giving you half a code so I say no. I do have 2 professional spyware/malware trials still up so what the hell? I'll go for it. Edited April 14, 2016 by OverlordMcGeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveys are always gonna be fake trying to bait unexperienced users to pay. Oh and the "user experienced comments" are fake too. You know, the people who say it worked for them and saying you must be sure to enter your real data.

I don't read her getting the "price". Do you really think you can just get free stuff up to 100$ that easily? I just noticed at the steam gift cards things at the third text down: "...and you will be writing it on a peace of paper" rofl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just a case of misinterpreting. She never got that $100 i can assure you that. Also why would you ever choose the $20 or $50 card when there is a $100 card when all are equally "free"? And why can't you click on "Reply" at the user comments on the "download" page? And why are the comments all the same on every offer (itunes, steam, google shop)? Dude, totally everything is fake and bs on that. You see suspicious but very good smelling offers and read the word survey? Fake. 1 minute ago, PUR3K1LL3R said: Never, ever go to links posted my bots... Scammers everywhere XD Exactly.

(XBOX)RememberToJump Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 This seems like the very thing that scammers are trying to do, post something and hope to get some debate some random gaming forum. If so, then they have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think I'm trying to scam people by asking them if they know whether or not this one site is a scam? Me, a Warframe veteran, MR21, 3k Forum posts and 5k reputation, played for over 2 years.

I was not trying to imply that YOU were the scammer, I was implying that the person who originally spammed your youtube with the link would be the scammer. I really don't care weather or not you should've taken down the link (I noticed you did.) I apologize for ANY hurt feelings that my original post may have stirred. and I congratulate you for being the highest master-ranked person I have seen thus far. (I really hope nobody actually got any sort of harm done to them, or their computer in the course that this post has been on.) For the record I happen to agree with IceColdHawk, I have been here before and share the same feelings towards these surveys. Everybody, please take note: NEVER USE ONE OF THESE CODE GENERATORS.
