    What happened? Description:
    The dude added me and told me that I had a "pending ban report" on my account, and then linked me to another profile that will supposedly help me. It took me a few google searches before immediately realizing that this is an attempt to steal either my items or my account in some way. Decided to drop the dude without adding the person they linked me too. Also ad​

    I could see the chance of them being hijacked though considering some of the things on their profile. But unfortunately no other ways of communicating with them have been found.
