(Scam marketer) I believe I was approached by a fake marketer

[Lite_ly Salted]

Hello,
Today I was contacted by a person claiming to be from the marketing team of the upcoming part 2 game, asking for a review video etc. His name was "Robert".

They wanted a contract signed, but it was a screensaver file extension (.scr) which I refused to open, citing security.

He claimed that "Our development department uses a special file encryption system to protect the documentation in order to avoid any information about our game before it is released to the public. "

I have not heard from "Robert" since.

FYI

for sure scam. good on you for not clicking any links. Its been 2 yrs since the last trailer and then radio silence, they won't start marketing until another trailer is released for sure. or at least showing any signs of life.

On a totally unrelated note, I'd love to see that file for further analysis (a hobby of mine). If you ever happen to share it on some cloud drive, please, post a link.
