Robton Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I post Skyrim screenshots quite often both on this site and on Flickr, today i got a mail from someone who want to buy my images... ...weird right? Do people actually buy game screenshots online for 65-70 bucks? For instance i cannot not see myself doing that ever. The mail: Have anyone else seen anything like this before, smels like a scam or something to me... Link to comment
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Definitely a scam they just want your information, you can humor them until then I guess. Link to comment
carnifex Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have no idea whether people do that or not, but it's quite possible it's just someone fishing for e-mail addresses. If you decide to respond, I'd advise setting up a fake mailbox you won't use for anything else, just to be sure. Link to comment
Robton Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Just, got it confirmed my some of my friends on flickr, that they have got the same email as well. Must be some kind of scam, but it would be sweet if it was for real though Link to comment

Rayblue Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Fucking funny that someone will want to pay for screencaps... smells like a hoax with an offer too good to be true. Link to comment
Guest airdance Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 RobTon A scam is designed to separate you from your money or possessions. The first phase is the phish, they try to get you to trust them. Once they have established that you will believe them, they reveal their true nature. You will be asked to perhaps buy shares in their fledgling company with the promise of doubling, or perhaps tripling your money in either days or months. You pay, they disappear. Link to comment

gregathit Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It is nothing more than a week ass attempt to either scam you or entrap you (you don't own the screenshot so how can you sell it). Hit the delete button on that PM. Link to comment
nonusnomeni Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 scam 65$? big money big scam or worst Link to comment
Guest Omega1084 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 That's hilarious. Especially considering you yourself technically don't own them. Would be sweet if my awful screenies made me some money, though. ;w; Link to comment
Lobzpooatu Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Haha and I've been giving them away for free all these years! Link to comment
maybenexttime Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 If they offered like 5 cents a picture, that might have been more believable. Link to comment

Adam Jensen Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 A shame that it is a scam, if I could get paid for playing Skyrim, I be rich by now. Link to comment
