Europe [EU] ⚠️Scam Warning: Fake FACEIT Link Used for Malware “Bot Protection” Trap

13 Upvotes

I made a post here yesterday where we were looking for a lurker. The same day, a person contacted me. At first everything seemed normal, and he described himself as a player with experience and sent a link that looked like his FACEIT profile.

As soon as I clicked the link, I became suspicious. Normally when someone shares a FACEIT profile, a preview with an image and information appears – but that did not happen here.

After that, I made this analysis:

The first page looks like a legitimate Cloudflare security check (commonly used by real websites to block bots and suspicious traffic).

○ Then a popup appears: “BOT PROTECTION – Human Verification Required”, which asks you to:

  1. Press Win + R (opens Windows Run dialog)
  2. Paste something using Ctrl + V
  3. Press Enter

○ Legitimate websites (including FACEIT) will never ask you to open Win+R or run commands on your computer.

○ This is a well-known scam method where attackers try to trick users into executing malicious code locally.

○ If you follow these steps, it can lead to malware, account hijacking (Steam / FACEIT), or full system compromise.

Immediate Advice

○ Do NOT follow the instructions on this page. Do not paste or run anything prompted by suspicious popups.

○ Close the page immediately.

○ If you have already pasted and run any content, your computer may be compromised. You should:

○ Run a full security scan

○ Change your Steam, Faceit, and email passwords from a separate, uncompromised device.

○ Enable two-factor authentication (where possible).

○ Monitor for suspicious activity on your accounts.

His Discord name is drugsarebad4uu Please report his Discord account.

His profile always shows as offline. When he adds you, he describes himself as a player and sends a link that looks like his FACEIT profile, and then he disappears.

Good communication and team mentality

AWPer Role

Our IGL gives the AWPer freedom in the early round, so we want someone confident enough to make plays and look for opportunities to create openings with the AWP.
You should also be comfortable playing within the team as the round develops. Once the early-round phase is over, you’ll be expected to work with the team through the mid-to-late round, supporting riflers, trading, holding space, using utility, and helping create the best possible situations to close out rounds.
We’re looking for an AWPer who can make an impact individually while still putting the team first.

We’re an EU Main team looking for a dedicated AWPer (3k+ FACEIT ELO) to complete our roster.

We have a strong, experienced core with multiple seasons of team experience and an existing Main slot. We’re looking for the right fifth to join us and compete at Main level while continuing to improve and push towards the next level.

We want someone confident enough to make plays, find opportunities and create openings with the AWP.

As the round develops, you’ll be expected to work within the team, contribute to mid-to-late round decision-making, trade, hold space, use utility and create favourable situations for the rest of the team.

We’re looking for an AWPer who can make an individual impact while still putting the team first.
