ㅤㅤㅤHello ARA, I've come to inform you about an issue that is becoming quite popular once again here on Amino:
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Scammers and stealing.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤIf anyone s you asking for your details, or asks to have access to your , you must immediately flag their messages (as off topic) and make a leader or curator aware.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
No one should have access to your but you!
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤSome of these scammers will come up with stories to try and earn pity in order to gain trust and have access to your , whilst others may try and harass you. Anyone who threatens to hack you or expose your personal information as a means to blackmail you, needs to be reported to us staff ASAP.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤIf someone sends you a random link that looks suspicious, chances are it is a phishing link. These are designed to gain your information when you click on them by directing you to a page. If you do on this page, the person who sent the link then has access to your details. Some phishing links may also contain malware and corrupt your device.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤDO NOT click links sent to you from someone you do not know or trust. Immediately flag the message containing the link and let a leader know.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤIf they gain access to your , they will immediately change your details and take the for themselves - you won't get it back. They will most commonly target higher level s as well, but this doesn't mean lower level s aren't also at risk.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤThere will also be s who offer to buy your from you. Do not fall for it. sharing / selling is an immediate ban on ARA.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤTeam Amino would never tell a to get access to someone else's . Your details contain private information (email / phone number, , etc). Some of your details you might use across different platforms and not just on Amino, so letting someone have that information is exposing you to be potentially hacked elsewhere.
ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤYour information should always remain confidential and if something sounds like a scam, then it most likely is. Trust your gut instincts.

This was once stolen I was devastated and was able to get it back :sob:
Why is this person doing this. It’s such a useless waste of time
Guys is this link a scam
You can report that message as off topic for a leader or curator to handle :ok_hand: 🏻
Wow never thought people would stoop that low to scam on here
They're already back on another trying to scam other s.
Please immediately flag the message as off topic if you receive this DM.
