🚨 Scammers attempting to chat elsewhere after just a few in game messages.

If approached by an opponent to take a conversation elsewhere, typically a chat or social media platform, please be very cautious as they are very likely a scammer.

Do take care here and elsewhere on the internet - this behaviour is a massive red flag.

There has been a number of instances recently, so please be vigilant.

Report (via feedback) any obvious encounters so we can deal with these individuals.

@Russ
Thanks for taking action on this. Within the last few days, what was a friendly conversation within a recently accepted unsolicited invite game turned into a request to continue the conversation on telegram. I see now that the player is banned and my game moved to my completed folder.

@ktadaddy

The Telegram platform is definitely a favorite for these guys.

Thanks for giving everyone the heads up on that one Russ.

Hopefully not many would fall for that one! 😉
