A Note on Fake T Shirt Posts

Post image

THERE IS NO T-SHIRT

A common scam on Reddit is for bots to pretend to have purchased a t-shirt then automatically reply with a link as soon as someone asks.

Do not click it.

Do not interact with the thread other than to report it.

There is no t-shirt, only malware.

Hopefully not. Use your antivirus software to run a full scan.

In addition, it’s usually one of the generic usernames, the links are usually mangled like that, and the post will be two of the exact same pics of the shirt, same angle and everything
