PSA About RMT Tell Topics

Oh my god. You're serious, aren't you?
You realize they snag your info just for VISITING their sites, right? Some people, due to the lack of education about these practices, don't realize that. And they lose their info, ranging from just their login up to including their bank info.
There're these thing called "keyloggers" and "trojan horses." It's not about being stupid, it's about being naive.
And people who are naive do NOT deserve to have their lives ruined by internet trolls.
And here's the thing: If there are enough complaints about something that it drowns out all other topics, maybe it's something that needs to be addressed.

It becomes a self-perpetuating problem: RMTs post ads. Players get annoyed, go to their websites to complain, get keylogger, lose account. RMTs strip that account of everything valuable, extrapolate possible info about owner's other accounts, and strip that as well. Then they make more bot accounts and the cycle continues. It's like the zombie internet apocalypse.
It's not unusual for someone who gets tricked into visiting these websites through one reason or another to end up losing thousands of dollars from a single click.
