[Phishing Alarm] Splinterlands Fake Advertisment in Google Ads !

in Splinterlands3 years ago

Attention, those who search Splinterlands on Google!

There is currently a phishing attack on Splinterlands. The phisher has set up a website that looks exactly like Splinterlands and has booked a Google ad with the phishing website that was placed before the normal original Splinterlands ad.

There are certainly some Splinterlands players among you who conveniently just type the name of the game into the search engine and usually always click on the first best result - please pay close attention to which link you click on. This is once again a very perfidious and deviant kind of phishing what comes up. Please look very carefully when you search for the address on Google.

If you land on the phishing site, you can download malware to your computer and if you enter your login details, you run the risk of losing your Splinterlands assets as well as Binance Smart Chain assets.

I have already communicated this to the Splinterlands owners as well as filed a complaint with Google Ads to have the ad removed as soon as possible.

Thanks and stay Safe!

PS: Feel free to share this Information to your friends to make sure they dont fall in to the trap.

PPS: This is not splinterlands fault - it's up to google show the ads and verify the correctness.

PPPS: thanks to our guild members report this.

Hello.

Allow me to address you in this way.

If it is not against your conviction, I would like to ask for your support.
I need here:


just a "vote" from you.https://www.sportstalksocial.com/@filosof103/i-need-your-support-I-need-your-support.

This will support the raffle I am running on:

every week.
I would like to encourage the community of Steem - Hive - and Blurt on the
the "sporty" side.
Also a delegation - which you can withdraw at any time - supports the project.

Thank you for your time.
LG.
