So Big Muscles from AB sent me a message on AB

Apparently there is a new 2FA phishing attempt on AB? Big Muscles sent me a private message on AB asking me to click on link that had a 2fa extension connected to it. I am far from stupid. This is now my 2nd bug from AB. The 1st one was about a week ago when I tried to login to the forums on AB and I get a message saying I am banned from supposedly posting SPAM on the forums even though my USERNAME was fairly new. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? No money gone, just phishing attempts?

Anyone who names themselves BigMuscles is an automatic douchebag.

This is coming from someone named KingHonky.

There was an exploit found recently on a couple other markets that would allow someone to duplicate staff accounts and send private messages to users under those names. Perhaps the same thing was found to work on AB.

Lots of hackers trying to ruin the markets, nothing new.

It's simply a user that made a buyer account called "Security-ADM", and sent you a phishing link. For some reason, he invited BigMuscles to the conversation to make it look legit, but you can clearly see that the message originates from a banned buyer account.

I'd hate to try to play this down, but was this actually the Big Muscles?

And not someone with a username like "Big MuscIes" or something phishy like that? Been a minute since I've been on AB, IDK how easy this would be to do. As for that "exploit" mentioned, never heard of that.

Yeah same with me.

I got banned for spamming but i only had a post count of 6 when i last logged in.

I did msg bigmuscles about a PMSG i got when i joined the forums about linking my marketplace account to the forum account. I did click the link without thinking that took me to a log in.... noob error. but i changed my password etc

I asked him if this would be enough to cover me. then next day i was banned.

Can anyone check for me?
