I remember a few months back Al McGlashan was posting on instagram about a Mark Berg tackle addiction page using Als photos without permission or payment.

Definitely a scam.
Starlo had the same issue, someone told to the original Starlo and he reported it. Eventually stopped.

Definitely a scam but you should run a system scan with your anti-virus just in case you were left a "present" on your computer!

[fisho999]

seems sus af, yeah do a system scam, I heard somewhere they get you to talk for as long as possible so they can access you computer or phone on their computer or phone if that make sense.

[cobby]

It's just the usual Facebook page/group giveaway scam that Facebook do absolutely nothing to stop no matter how much you report it as a scam

[fisho999]

it happens with a lot of stuff, not only fishing.

Fisho if you open an email or internet site that has malicious intent it takes literally milliseconds to transfer a virus or other software to your computer. As someone who uses a computer very frequently my simple rule is that if you do not know the sender do not open! While this will not completely protect you as an email from someone you know may have an attachment that the sender does not know is there, it will certainly help a lot.

In your experience are these viruses more attributed to adult sites? If so I’m ******
