You are gambling a lot and unnecessarily. You shouldn't open and download things from people you don't know or trust. Important and sensitive information shouldn't be stored on a device you use for everyday activities. Using the same PC/phone for everything you do is an accident waiting to happen.

Imagine the site you loaded on your end was infected with malware and someone somewhere got access to everything stored on your phone. What is worse? Having all your files, data, private information, work-related stuff, wallet info, etc. stolen, or only losing access to a few online accounts that can be recoverable in different ways and from other devices?

Thank you for that link, I checked it and you are right. I never visited that part of the forum. It means those buying the copper membership are not first time newbies. They must have been here that long enough to know there is something like that offer. With that we can conclude that user SCORUM.COMMUNITY has a bad intention of sending those pms.

Yup, it's somewhat hidden unless you sneak around (honestly I didn't bother since merits :p) or wonder why images aren't rendering properly

The question I raise is: did you download any files? Did you open any files? If you didn't, you can be minimally calm.
But there's another question: are you using pirated or legal software? Do you have updates up to date? If everything is fine and updates are up to date, then you can also be minimally calm.

Either way, it's hard to say if it's really safe or not. You can try running some antivirus/malware programs to try to detect something.
But I believe, if you have things like I mentioned, it shouldn't be a problem.

Now, you should always be very careful about the links you click on. Remember, your PC's security starts with your online behavior.

I use Hanphone to open the link, I am safe, and in the future I have to be more careful, I think they are honest people and want to rent me to the promotion that encourages me to click the link they give

Thank you for your teachings

I received two duplicate messages from this user on the 24th of November with subject "Cooperation" and ignored it as I thought this was an error message which was mearnt for a bounty manager or something but seeing this thread and several others receiving the same message, I don't think this is random... User might have used signature spreadsheets to target his recipients to receive the message which I have ignored till this day, but is there a way to block such users from sending you unwanted messages?

The only possibility to block these messages, is in your profile settings, indicate that you do not want to receive PM from newbie users.
You can see this option here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=pmprefs

I got curious when I received the PM so I tried opening the site. Nothing was there also but a blank page. I didn't mind about it but replied to him saying I'm not the guy he thinks I am to cooperate and spread his NFT game. Nothing to download from his site. I wonder what game was it though.

A new user spamming PM to active users, I sure SCORUM user is new and has not known how suspicious the forum users are.

The link points to an FTP folder, which may contain malicious files. I personally do not recommend opening this folder.

Once a man, twice a child!

It's like I'm the only unfortunate one who didn't get the celebratory pm 😭. Anyway, the SCORUM.COMMUNITY account has been auto banned now. I guess we all can go back, relax and sleep with our two eyes closed. It's good to report and expose cases like this so as to prevent naive ones from being preys to such unscrupulous elements instead of keeping quiet and dealing with it secretly. I'm sure the barrage of reports on that account was what prompted the mods to promptly ban it.

He was able to get across to me and I believe to others also because of his copper member status, and not as a newbie. It shows that restriction on pms does not work against copper membership.

PM restrictions depend on your activity count if I am not mistaken, not your rank. But the copper membership lifts many of the limits that would be set on accounts with low activity counts.

There already are certain restrictions to PMs. If you have 0-14 activity points, you can only send one PM per hour. That's how it was in the past at least. But these two posts by Maestro75 and UserU got me thinking. Could you get around this limit by sending a mass PM to multiple users, and would that still count as just 1 PM sent?
I am looking at New PM limits written by theymos, and it mentions "Max recipients". Does that mean that those with 0-14 activity points not owning a copper membership can send a PM to multiple recipients but to a maximum of 2 people?

Wow

so many PMs sent by SCORUM.COMMUNITY to people and this is very annoying but I also ignore it and never click on the link given in the message looks very suspicious what was sent in the PM.

It's like we were told to try their testnet to find out more about the game, but many people have realized that this has been a warning to all of us.

I always ignore PM's that have nothing to do with me.

You can report a private message only to admins, as the link in the private message says "report to admin" - although it is possible that these messages are actually handled by global moderators. It is interesting to me how that member actually chose who to send the message to, did he count on that members not to report him, or do all those who received it have something else in common?

You're right, I reported it to the administrators.

They are clearly spam messages trying to find some victims through these offers as they think NFT is the new trend and we can attract members towards our project which may or may not exist in reality with these keywords but you are right on the part that we should not click on the links we received from these newbie and strangers as we are aware about the phising scams in this space.

Although I didn't receive this PM but in past have received some kind of trading partnership messages trying to scam you of funds and this is also the same but surprised to see how many of you have received his PM.

I also got a PM from that account. what makes me not interested in opening the shared link is his account which is not actively posting but sending PMs to some forum users.

if you look at the history of the SCORUM.COMMUNITY account, it seems that it is another account from the banned Zinylia account. the two also promote the Scorum project. he tries to continue his business under the radar because his main account is already banned.

In their ban appeal thread, the user said that they were not the same person who used their old account (Zinylia) and do not have access to that account anymore. Therefore, I think that the ban evasion rule does not apply here.

But regardless, mass sending of unsolicited PMs is not allowed. If they are looking for partners and promoters, they should do it publicly rather than privately.

I saw the PM last night as well. I didn't really pay attention to it after seeing the words "NFT", "cooperation ", "play-to-earn games", etc. Since I never heard of the person who sent the message, I quickly checked their post history and noticed that the only forum activity they have was posting in a ban appeal thread. Judging by the people who reported having received similar PMs, it wasn't an isolated case where only those that joker_josue mentioned got PMed.

I'm not sure what the goal here is and if they are in fact proposing an honest partnership, but clicking on the link and visiting the website is not something I am planning to do. I'm going to use my forum logic and conclude that it's a scam until proven otherwise.

I also received such proposal/pm late yesterday. Although i see nothing wrong or something malicious on the letter, just a proposal so i just ignored it since i'm not interested at all.

And yep, looks like the majority here seems doesn't like such way of promotion or proposal via pm. Yet, i think this is best to reputation than meta.

Today I received a PM from this user SCORUM.COMMUNITY who apparently is proposing partnerships, but does not inspire any kind of confidence.

Here is the message he sent to me and other users:

Code:

[b]Hello![/b]

I want to offer you a cooperation in covering the release of our game — P2E NFT Aviatrix.

Aviatrix is a new and exclusive blockchain-based game based on the use of NFT tokens by each user. The game uses the Play-To-Earn (P2E) mechanics with NFT, when the user's game object (plane) upgrades depending on the experience and makes a profit depending on its place in the rating.

The game has already received 2 Awards from prominent industry organizations such as ‘Unique Selling Point’ from Sigma Balkans and CIS as well as ‘Hackathon Winner’ of Binance Smart Chain.

Visit our testnet to find out more about the game: [ftp=ftp://https://www.aviatrix.bet/]https://www.aviatrix.bet/[/ftp]

The most suitable cooperation option for us is any mention of the game from your side here on bitcointalk (for example, mentioning our links in your signatures and writing posts in our thread). Could you also share a price list for such an advertising company?

I will be very glad to receive your feedback if you are interested in our offer. Also, if you have other proposals for cooperation, I’d highly appreciate if you let me know about them.

[b]Best regards,
Alina[/b]
