Free in-game currency scams

A game-chat message promises free coins or skins if you log in through a link. The page steals the account and any saved payment card.

What it looks like

How it usually ends

The page was a copy of the game's login. Your account was taken and your parents' saved card was charged.

Red flags

• Login page on a lookalike domain
• Countdown urgency
• Sender account created 2 days ago

What to do

• Free currency generators are always scams.
• Log in only through the game itself.
• Set purchase approvals and spending limits for kids.
