I feel like I really should not need to post about this but I am going to anyway! Last night I was able to log into Fantage (cheers), only to see a newly made non advertising free gold for anyone who kiks him. I decided I would play his game and gave him my kik. The first question he asked me was my age, then to send a pic. I proceeded to tell him that sending pics to strangers was really unsafe.
Many of us on Fantage are seasoned players and know this is probably a set up of some sort. I forwarded his user name and info to Fantage so they can check his IP and ban him accordingly. Trying to do my part to keep Fantage safe. My message is that we do not know who is on the other side of the keyboard so be careful. I have at many times offered to vid chat people if their identity was questionable. Even if I just hear their voice it ensures me it’s not some 50 year old dude trying to befriend me for not so good reasons. Be safe Fantagians do not share personal info through Fantage or any apps. Do not use your personal Kik, Insta, Facebook or YouTube to communicate!

The real question is…why are people falling for this nonsense? -_- Really, even if the person promising free Gold holds up their end of the bargain, it’s probably not going to be more than 500 Gold… Just sell your items at MyMall, for Pete’s sake. It’s NOT that hard. 🙄

True, but you’d think people would’ve learned by now. Plus Fantage specifically says not to get Gold from anywhere except MyMall and buying it from them…

That’s true… Sigh.
Honestly, I think that if you’re that young, you should either be using Safe Chat, know what stranger danger is, or just not go on places like Fantage at all. But I know that’s still not going to prevent all of this from happening…
I guess the ONLY good thing about being scammed or anything similar is that you learn not to trust shady offers in the future. It’s just a shame so many people have to learn that the hard way. 😦
