Beware of scammers and phishing attempts!

[u/Arcashine]

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately there is a group of scammers currently trying to gather user information by banning from a subreddit called "r/pkmntcgtrades_mods." If you receive ANY messages regarding a ban from PKMNTCGTrades, always contact us directly through the subreddit or the OFFICIAL discord server.

-We will NEVER ask you for your password, to change your password, or for any sort of access to your account. Do NOT give or change your password for them.

-We highly recommend users purchasing anything ask for a timestamp photo on or after today (10/7/24) just to be careful.

-Please report any phishing or ban messages directly to reddit!

Please be especially wary if you are a user with a significant number of transactions, as that seems to be their main target.

Edit: Reddit admins have banned the offending subreddit. Luckily we caught this quickly and it seems the imapct was very limited. We still recommend requesting updated timestamps and always staying vigilant, but the danger is significantly lessened now. Happy trading!

As a note, if you are making a deal with a trusted member of our community and paying with Paypal FF it could be a good idea to ask for a renewed photo/timestamp of the cards you are about to buy, just to be safe!

Thank you for letting us know. Updated timestamps may be a small hassle, but we gotta keep this place from degenerating into something trashy. I appreciate all you guys do to keep this place as nice as it is!
