Hello, I just received this via messaging. I was wondering if this is some new type of fraud going around. I didn’t click the link, of course. I guess the answer is obvious, but I’m posting this here just in case. Cheers, PG ![StaffJohn](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/gameflipapp/original/3X/3/a/3a6fe9aea537ee8dae790b00ea5a8310c5f5631a.jpeg) ---
