Currently, the Fortnite servers are not exactly running smoothly. Developer Epic has responded and promised compensation. However, there is still no official information about what this compensation includes. Some scammers have taken advantage of the impatience of the players and try to elicit their account data from unsuspecting users with the promise of 1000 V-Bucks.
Since the release of the latest patch, shooter Fortnite has been plagued by (buy now 19,99 € ) apparently server problems: just last Friday, January 26, 2018, developer Epic was forced to subject the servers to extensive maintenance and later shut down the team mode, because players increasingly complained about difficulties in joining groups. Epic has since promised the angry community z compensation, but is currently keeping quiet about the content of the same.
As Mein-mmo reports, some scammers are apparently taking advantage of the situation and are trying to elicit account data from unsuspecting players with the help of the promised compensation. To do so, they use Twitter accounts under the name “Fortniite” such as “@fort6niite6” or “@for6nite43”, which look confusingly similar to the real Fornite account at first glance. In posts containing a supposed apology for the problems, they then ask players to click on a link, which they are then supposed to use to receive compensation – such as 1000 V-Bucks or free ingame items:
Those who follow the link are redirected to a fake website and asked to enter their account data.
Currently, the website linked in the Twitter messages is already offline again – but we still explicitly warn you not to enter your account data on other websites. Check the offer carefully and inform yourself about the authenticity of the compensation offer on trustworthy news sites or directly at Epic.
We will keep you updated on the further development of the matter as well as on all other latest news about the game on our Fortnite topic page.
