WATCH OUT! SCAMMER (devsamp@gmail.com) - 1337connor - 27.12.2010

Watch out for the email "devsamp@gmail.com" they have sent my a trojan claiming it to be a version of SAMP 0.3 for the Dev Team.

I decided to download it, and Kaspersky found it to be a trojan.

I think there is a place to report this. They will take the email and (hopefully) blacklist him. If they can trace him.


Re: WATCH OUT! SCAMMER (devsamp@gmail.com) - 1337connor - 27.12.2010

Haha, Hopefully.

Why don't you simply send email to team@sa-mp.com?


Re: WATCH OUT! SCAMMER (devsamp@gmail.com) - ConnorP - 27.12.2010

If you knew it was a scam I think it was slightly daft to download it.

You should be smarter - sa-mp team doesn't use gmail..

Indeed, 1st I would check if someone sends an email. Thanks for reporting it anyway.

They suck, just don't download anything from it. Thanks for reporting, even tho they didn't add me, I will be aware.

I like to download such noob trojans, to laugh about how bad they are made, especially if people write like this (devsamp). Old DOS 5 Antivirs would recognize 99% of them...

Well, what might be worth a question is, where did he get your E-mail? You do not have it in your profile. Maybe in *******? Or did you register to a samp server with your mail? This would reduce the number of people who could have sent the mail.

How pathetic. He could have at least made it more realistic. 13 year olds for you.
