Please do not trust or click any links that are not officially provided by the developer of any game. This applies both here and in any other game or community.

Recently, there has been an increase in fraudulent links circulating. These links are not official, and interacting with them may put your account or device at risk. If an update or announcement were legitimate, it would be released directly through official game pages or verified developer channels — not through random links.

For your security, only follow links or download files shared by the official developer.

Stay safe, and thank you for using Itch.io! 💛

Could someone ban that account named "support@itchio" sitewide? They're spamming all forums with malicious links. A site-wide ban would solve the problem and avoid having to ban them manually from every game... thanks

That Account is part of the Reason i made this post

I will also get in contact with Itch.io Staff about Moderation of Content/Comments

For now stick to Reporting it trough the official Itch.io Report Forums:

https://itch.io/support

That's such a misleading account name. Thanks for telling us.

Thank you for telling us!

For everyone's information: there is a report button at the bottom of every post. Click it and report these scammers.

but how do we knows Whice one is The link and download being safe us self?

Developers won't give a download link in the comments. It would be on the game page or as an update.

Sorry for the late reply — I’ve been a bit busy.
The developers will be adding updates directly to the Releases section or the game’s description on Itch.io, along with a visible download button.

Please note: official updates will never be shared through links in the comments.
Any links posted there are not official and should be avoided.

There is another alt doing this crap, this time going by "upgrade@itch.io"

If you see anyone sharing suspicious or unofficial links, please report them immediately.

This helps keep the community safe and prevents the spread of harmful or fake content.

Thank you for helping us maintain a secure environment for everyone.

I just removed the comments/forum of one of my games. I don't want people to accidentally download that and then blame me.

never trust someone approaching you with a benefit, especially in the net, im having the same problem but over @ sketchfab some dumbass constantly posts some stuff like with a link which wants you to confirm your bank account :O, im reporting him again and again, but he keeps coming back with new accouts and stuff that someone wants to buy my 3dasset eventhou i dont even sell them :O i told him what he thinks that i eventually will be stupid enough to trust someone named skeetchfab :O

people using sketchfab be warned this guy just comes again after ive got him deleted like 6 times or so, i dont understand the motiv behind this, he also tried to get my data by appearing with the name "skeetchfab" or some similar wrong spelled version, stating you've won 500 dollar,  but you bank account is needed, caution, dont fall for it !

;-;

I’m not surprised, as these appear across multiple sites. Please stay safe. I also recommend posting a Security Notice on Sketchfab if they have a community or forum.

I’m not very familiar with Sketchfab myself, so I would suggest reporting the offending user repeatedly until the staff takes action, potentially banning their IP.

(1 edit)

yeah he literally gets banned everytime after posting commetns as i not just report the comment but also the user and this in two possible ways so its effective, but the problem seems to be that this knuckelheads just register another account annoying me again, but what is he thinking that i fall for su7ch weak and dumb approaches.... :D by the way if you're maybe in need of 3d assets, i can provide all my 200 uploaded ones for free just would appreaciate my name being mentioned in the credits,  maybe linking to my homebase...
