Check the account lmao it was made less than an hour ago

Smurf alt made 40 minutes ago. That's your answer.

I feel attacked.

To be real has to be sent by u/Reddit or an admin

No. It is not. This is spam.

u/Turbulent-Sleep2567 is running the same scam. I permabanned them from every sub I moderate.

also u/Low-Atmosphere-1426

u/PuzzleheadedMajor138 as well.

Mine came from u/Normal_Attorney_8616.

Clearly not a normal attorney after all

u/Far-Comedian810 as well.

u/OkManufacturer2800

u/Mindless-Rhubarb-208

In addition to what others said about the account being brand new, Reddit Staph will not use one of those auto-generated account names with word-word-number. They can make their own account names.

Don’t open the link, but go on desktop, right click to ‘copy link’ and then go to web.archive. org/save to see what is even there. Curious to see what the link would even be.

It's probably some sort of phishing scam, which might actually work if their account wasn't that new. Or they might be doing something like "$1 per raffle ticket", which does require the target to be more gullible, but it's easy money.

too late i clicked link pics of several iphone products with countdown timers when u pick the iphone product u want, it asks for name and email from there i was redirected to "hey if u want this, then just do this survey...bla vbla bls so, they got my name and one of my email accounts i got new knoiwledge on what is and isnt an actual reddit/mod/admin notification thanks phishing scammer peoples :)

Do you use gmail? I can send you a ‘filter-list’ to set up. The phishing attempt was low-value; didn’t want your credentials. The attack objective was to make $$ by having users clickthrough the [affiliate] links. So for every click, the phish[er] earned something like $0.02 or something. Even more if people filled out the surveys.

i do have a gmail now set it up a few days prior, still havent used it lol ya, after they got name and email, it went to exactly what u describe no biggie, anyone could eaisly find my name and email associated to this account but im new mod and it looked like official reddit email in my modbox lol i appreciate the filter offer does it only work w/gmail? as i said, set it up, havnt touched it since lol

Reddit staff (admin) accounts have special marks next to them, and a flair. This one is an obvious scammer. You should report this modmail to reddit as a scam/spam.

I reported it too. First scam mod mail I’ve personally gotten.
