A few weeks after the Silent Hill f showcase, some gamers began receiving invitations “from the developers” — they were invited to test the new horror title before release.
In reality, these messages are being sent by scammers trying to prey on victims interested in Silent Hill f.
The actual developers reached out to players and warned them about the fraudsters’ activities:
“We are aware of the existence of fake accounts on social media advertising fake events, including closed beta testing for SILENT HILL f, and directing users to spoofed sites where they will be prompted to enter personal information.
Please note that using such sites may lead to a leak of personal data or make you a victim of fraud.”
