This person friended me from an online game I played asking if I wanted to be paid to be a penpal. I’m familiar with a lot of phishing scams and other sorts of scams but I’ve never seen a scam like this one. What exactly is this person trying to get from me, are they hoping to infect my device with something sinister or are they trying to phish information from me without me knowing it? They seem to put a lotta emphasis on me VIEWING this photo they’re gonna send me and it makes me think that whatever they’re gonna send me must be infected with some sort of trojan. Can someone explain to me what’s going on here?
Definitely an SCP trying to disseminate a cognitohazard. I’d avoid at all costs.
I believe you, but I have no idea what any of that means.
heres the Wikipedia page. That will give you the details. I highly recommend heading to the wiki and reading a few if you’re at all a fan of creative fiction and sci-fi/horror.
If you’re more of an audio type, I cannot recommend The Exploring Series enough. He’s not only got the dry and clinical tone that the format lives on, but he has some well timed jokes and he also elaborates both on the entry and any entries referenced.
Its too late. THEY’RE IN MY WALLS.
