Greetz everyone,
A new scam has been sent out via PM from the account mieunWitch & Suxi123456.
It reads:
"Welcome to the Development Manifesto Testing Program!
We have created this testing patch to contain opinions that explain our current plans and timeframes for upcoming game features. Our goal is to eventually house information on all confirmed upcoming content and features here. We're also going to post articles that explain the design philosophies behind certain game systems so that you can better understand what we're trying to create.
This time we are going to test pre-patch for the adding of act 4 into game for a small group of people. You can download and enjoy by the link below."
It has a link to a virus/trojan, this is not an official GGG account or message.
If you clicked this link, please scan your computer immediately with your anti-virus software.
If you don't have any installed, grab one of the various free programs out there to check for this as soon as possible.
If anyone sees this message from a different account, please notify us as soon as possible.
Email: Support@GrindingGear.com
As a general reminder, all official GGG accounts are Yellow, as explained here.
We would greatly appreciate it if everyone could notify any friends or other websites/communities about this as well, the sooner we get the word out the better!
thx but are people still falling for this shit?

I certainly hope not, but there will probably be a few that see the message and get excited and click without thinking it through properly.

They are either targetting small batches of players at a time or we remove the account quickly enough so that a lot of players don't even see the message.
Either way, everyone should be aware that there is a new 'wave' of attempts going down.
