Free Lindens now
Filed under: News items, Opinion, Second Life
Remember this website? Well, apparently they've given up on trying to scam people through assorted survey fakery. They've stepped up to straightforward theft, and want your account credentials -- in exchange for L$25,000 (which, quite obviously, you would never actually receive).
You'd have to be unspeakably naive, or somehow functionally retarded to actually provide them with your account details. Right now, they're spamming across the grid with a domain name that redirects to this site.
The domain is freelindensnow.com, and appears to be registered in Shanghai, China -- though most of the ownership details, including name and address, look to be falsified.
Linden Lab is taking this seriously enough to issue warnings both on the official blog and in the login message-of-the-day. That either means that the spamming is considerably more widespread this time around ...
... or a bunch of people have actually fallen for this. That's pretty hard to imagine, I know, but people really actually do fall for scams like this one. Every day. Don't be one of them.
