These scams come in fits and starts-usually when school is out, or during public holidays, or times when you might expect sales and gifts, such as Black Friday-so I thought that I’d highlight some of them here as a kind of ‘buyer beware’.įor tips and tricks on how to check for legitimacy, and how to report scammers, read through to the end of the post. Here are a few examples of the kinds of thing we’ve seen being ‘offered’ to people: Other groups for mesh heads and bodies were also being hit by these fake names, and they all had something in common: THEY’RE SCAMS.
is that latest CatwaHeadUpdate really from Catwa?Īll of those came in to the Catwa support group over the long Easter weekend last year. I just received an object called CATWA HEAD Update from an avi called CatwaHeadStore… is this a scam? hello, what happened when i got the item from eventcatwa in my inventory but not opened…so just delete or maybe save my linden to a friends?. I need to tell some one about this its called catwagifts tried to tap into my lindens it says catwagifts Resident. i just got this Second Life: catwaupdate has given you this object: Re-delivery CATWA HEAD update.
just got a item from “catwaOffer” is this a real catwa bot? “CatwaOffer has given you this object: CATWA HEAD (gift)”. Is this fake? and should I be worried thats I accepted the object? However, I just looked back the account “giftcatwa”, that sent it to, was just created today. I didn’t think anything of it and accepted the item, thinking there was an update to my head. I received an item earlier from “giftcatwa” that said it was an update.
If you’ve been active in any Second Life group-especially one for mesh heads or mesh bodies-for any length of time then you’ve probably seen people saying things like this: Is it too good to be true? You bet it is…
