Do NOT give ANYONE your phone number in game!

[Zeus]

Hello, STS Community,

I want to inform you not to give anyone your phone number in game. Why? There is a recent scam going around.


It goes like this (EXAMPLE SCENARIO):
Scammer says: No email or password needed for a free promo code for platinum! PM me for more info!

Victim: What's this about?

Scammer: Just give me your number and I will text you from my generator. My generator will tell you a code # which you will need to tell me so I can give you a promo code for 500 platinum.

Victim: Okay!




Many children may think this: "What can go wrong!?"

Dear naive, the scammer can BILL your phone through text message. Here is some evidence. I was playing the part of the victim in this scenario but did not fall for it because I was trying to predict how he would execute the scam. Unfortunately, people have already fell for it and have lost $50 or more.






P.S: When I mean ANYONE, it is ANYONE.

Friends can bill other people's phones with this method. So please, be wary of who you trust online.

Safe gaming players!
