Fake printables scam accounts

Image for Fake printables scam accounts
Are you getting a comment under a new model that you uploaded telling you to verify your payment information whithin 24 hours or will lead to limitations on your account? They are scams and here's why and how you can recognize them: 
  • They're asking you via comment: printables would never do such thing, they would probably send you a private and email that no one can see, plus, 24 hours is too short of a time, they would at least give you a week 
  • The account is not verified
  • The account was made the exact same day you got the comment
  • The account follows the official verified printables account
  • If you go to “3D models” and check the new uploads, they also have your same comment by the same account

Whatever they're asking you, DO NOT click the link and absolutely DO NOT give them your payment informations, they'll steal them and make unauthorized purchases, if you already put your informations and they made purchases you should: contact your bank immediately, block the card, change your online passwords (do it even if you only clicked on the link!) and most important tell the police!! 

Remember to report the comment and the user to printables by clicking the 3 dots and “report”, explaining the situation
