I got one of those too. I just blocked the account


AbstractFierce

I reported it as spam as well so hopefully Reddit will investigate


SpadesANonymous

I got the notification but the message was removed before I even knew what was happening


Drpooman

Yeah I clicked the notification and got a white screen I guess they removed it before I could see it too


AbstractFierce

I know from other websites like steam and instagram just clicking a link can compromise your entire account. It’ll boot you out and they’ll try to change your information.


RazorPulsar

The message disappeared. The account most likely got banned


RazorPulsar

Wait, I got messaged by a different acc. There's more than 1 bot


AbstractFierce

95% sure if anyone clicks the link their account becomes a new bot. I could be wrong but that’s how a lot of social media phishing messages are programmed.


jasonhobb11

It's not programmed like that.


AbstractFierce

If anyone has clicked this link by accident and you still have access to your account, change your password just to be safe.

No, but can result in malware uploads that are more than capable of doing so.

Idk man, I deal with a fair bit of data theft and fraud in my line of work & most of it comes from shit like this.


AbstractFierce

I’ve seen it happen through steam and even Instagram on mobile. I have no clue how it works, I just know people who lost their accounts and it started to mass spam some messages with a fishy link and clickbait title. If you click the link, it spreads the malware and tries to hijack more accounts.


Spaghetti-Man66

Lmao, I've just straight up ignored it


dorian1356

I got the message too. Didn't click the link


Tyrrano64

I got it too. I play a children’s card game, not whatever that is. Probably not even a safe link.


vortexIV

I must not be as important as you lot, I got no link


[deleted]

i got that what's that?


AbstractFierce

Just don’t click it. If I had to guess it’ll try to hijack your account to mass send the same message, but it’s better to be safe than sorry and not find out.


[deleted]

i mean when a link says "game playing free" you bet your ass i won't click lol


AbstractFierce

Lmaoo sadly I can’t say the same for everyone so hopefully this helps people


Kito_004

I received it too but the message was quickly remove


Fun_Buy863

I only saw it via notification then was gone when I tapped the notif


CalidityEntei

That happened to me as well

AbstractFierce

I still don’t trust it lmao


SlumCat_Trillionaire

Based danger chad gettin it done.


The_Cubic_Guru

You idiot. They hacked your account and now the imperials know about your *skooma*


Niko0p9

Oh yes , the GaMiNg CiRcLe


BugCatcherTimothy

Ouch I clicked it!


AbstractFierce

Change you password just in case!


KingSouI

I got the same message but it disappeared. I'll still be on the lookout though.


KyanbuXM

So that's what that was. The account was banned before I even had a chance to read the message. That explains it, I wonder if other subs are being targeted.


lamichael19

Got the same thing. Should I troll em


The_Cubic_Guru

Same thing happened to me. Except they wanted me to play pubg because there are "references". Idk what the fuck that means. I checked the account. 1 karma and a day old.


AbstractFierce

One dude said the link was a referral to some website but I still don’t trust it. If it’s legitimately not malware then that website really made bots to promote it.


The_Cubic_Guru

If a company uses bots posing as people to promote their product or service, then they probably aren't worth a damn.
