If someone warns this sub about a scammy site, but adds a link to it, they are in on
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>First of all lets be honest, nobody here should be clicking on any links that are shared in this sub, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ">let alone this one</a>.</p> <p>We all know that scammers and malicious links are everywhere, from emails and messages to this sub. One of the most insidious forms of scams is one that poses as someone who is warning you about a scam. It goes something like this: Scammer writes a post or comment about how he/she found a website that is too good to be true and is possibly a scam. Scammer adds a link to www dot Isend2BTCfor1BTC dot com and asks if its legit or straight out says nobody should click on it. Now there is some psychology behind this and that is for another post, but if the scammer earned your trust by calling it a possible scam, you might fall for it and click on the link.</p> <p>I could have given them the benefit of the doubt but there is no such thing as accidentally sharing a clickable link in the 21st century.
