Is this a scam?

got a message from a friend saying i have a pending ban on my account, said to add a David Underwood

lol, friend won't know that, not to mention asking you to add someone that 10000% won't be official, it's a dumb but super common method of scamming

It's the setup to a scam. He'll send you to a "fake admin" next who will try to trick you into sending him your items. Block, report and ignore.

You could have let the "admin" give you enough material for a report too. A bit too hasty to get out of there.
If one has the time and mood for it, wasting the time of scammers is always a good choice. Let them explain stuff slowly and mutliple times for you, give them false infos, pretend technical problems, make up excuses for them to wait longer, get into small talk, switch to languages or slang they are likely not familiar with...
There's a lot of choices, and as long as they have to talk to you, they can't go after others. As long as you don't give out real information and don't click links, there's nothing to stop you from having fun at their expense.

Losing one of their hundreds accounts doesn't hurt them half as much as losing half an hour on what increasingly appears like safe catch to them.

Why u all screw the fun ? .. ok u got to know that's a scam, calm down , don't panic and don't open any link they provide but ya u can definitely make fun of them by trolling them.. if they say u to go to any website and login and do stuffs , just ignore and say them false that u did that .. and keep making fun of them .. this is the way they should be treated

Just today, my gloves and serrated claw knife were cheated by him, what should I do?

1. Stop falling for stupid scams.
2. Secure your account, now.
3. Stop entering your login credentials on fake websites.

If you have to ask if its a scam then its most likely a scam.

Just noticed this thread is old af. At least it could be a warning to other stupid people not to fall for idiotic scams

[Cathulhu]

Considering the more recent replies, it did not. Just like the thousands of other threads, sob stories and PSAs.
