Got the same pop up but they changed where brad Jenkins was from is about all. Thanks for The heads up
what if I submitted address and zipcode and my email and stuff like that but luckily I didnt put in my card info
Yeah that would be really bad.
Just be careful going forward because the scammers may contact you and attempt to scam you.
This scam just popped up during a search using DuckDuckGo. I noticed the URL had the word libirty in it. An obvious misspelling.
You saved me from me losing all my money, thank you. 5 Stars amazing, but s***w Brad jenkins
is something bad going to happen if I like let my 10 year old sister submit her info, like date of birth and address.
Do not do that. It is a scam, so stop trying to convince yourself otherwise.
and what if I already entered my address and my date of birth and email
Just be careful going forward. Stop, think and research before making any decision going forward.
it asked me for my address, should I be really worried about it?
