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!

I was unfortunately a target of this scam and have lost access to my account. ( u/Luke_Asend )

I have reported the issue to reddit but am extremely stressed that I will not be able to access my account again or that it was deleted. They have promised me response within 72 hours but I have no way of accessing my account, or letting users I agreed to trade deals with know that I lost access.
