LizaC: Hello Nottoo! I am sorry to hear about this issue! we advise residents to not click on links from people they do not know, and even if you do know them you need to make sure the link is valid and secure by comparing it to our official marketplace website or whatever website they are linking you to. I'd encourage you to advise the people in your group to not click on the link and of course file an abuse report so our governance team can investigate further on this issue
You: i have
You: but i was hoping a quick response would help u
LizaC: We dont investigate these type of issues through live chat but i do appreciate you reporting it to us as well so we can be alert of this issue. Rest assure that the Gteam will be able to take the necessary steps to prevent this from affecting residents
