There have been some issues with a griefer lately which involves clicking a link and your account getting hacked. I just wanted to let you know how this new scam works and I also wanted to give out a few tips about protecting yourself from these kinds of griefers and thieves.
This is how this recent scam works…
1. Hacker hacks your acct.
2. They do a buddy conference
3. Post a URL that looks like the market place
4. it says “marcketplace.altervista” in the URL
5. The page looks like the SL Marketplace log in
6. You’re friends log in using SL username & password
7. Hacker has their INFO
8. They log in, is knocked offline
9. They have time to change their email address
10. They take control of their account then
11. And it keeps going ….
Tips on keeping you and your account safe…
1.) DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING, no links, don’t accept objects, etc.
2.) Always pay attention to who is giving you things. If you don’t know them don’t wear it… only rez it. If it asks you to give it debit permissions DECLINE IT!!!! Then delete it and purge it from your inventory.
3.) When dealing with Amaretto products they are no modify, no copy, no transfer. They can only be purchased from an Amaretto store and Marketplace or be given by one of the three Amaretto Business Avatars JJ Cerna, Ancient Biscuit, and Mazelina Menna. Any other avatar trying to give out Amaretto Products (other than animals of course) is a griefer or copybotter. Real Amaretto products will never ask for debt permissions!!!!
I hope this helps you all.
