3. "Something seems suspicious!" (C) Or are they trying to slip in a Trojan? Those who downloaded it, please write: what was downloaded, is everything clean?

Here's the thirst for freebies in action!!!

The first two points objectively explain why this is a scam, and in the third, "But what if they give money?!! Has anyone checked? Tell me!!... ah...!!!" - "The mice cried, they pricked themselves, but they continued to swallow the cactus!!!" (C).

All more or less adequate gaming communities start - pay attention!!! with a community!. that is, this is a fairly significant group of people communicating on a specific topic. If there are no such people, there is no topic...
And lures like "whoever beats Vasya Pupkin will get a prize!!" - this is a scam. always. even when it's not a scam at all.

In this case, the scam is obvious. that is, the whole point boils down to a fictitious win and luring suckers who, for the sake of a fictitious win, are ready to spend their time and money.

an example of a not-so-obvious scam (usually this is called a competition): you need to dig a trench 100 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1 meter deep - for this, you need, say, 10 workers for a month of work, and a monthly salary for the workers. let's say 20k each, a total of 200k rubles.
or... let's hold a competition for the best ditch digger!!! the winner will receive a prize of 20k rubles. the conditions of the competition are to dig a trench 100 by 2 and 1 meter.
as a result, we will get 5 ready-made trenches and another five partially ready ones. for 20k rubles.
the cost of the trench in the first case is 200k rubles. and 4k in the second case + in the second case, there is also an interesting time.
Smart motivation works wonders!!!
