META: Beware private message scam

2016-09-05T09:22:22+00:00

I don't go on any other MGTOW related site other than this subreddit, I just deleted that message.

Edit: Surely you guys don't use the same email for everything? I use an email for my work/career/profession, an email for social media like Facebook and an email for offtopic online shit like Reddit. I couldn't give 2 fucks if they 'harvested' my online email, it's already got about 5000 emails in the junk folder fuckers!

Seems like doxing is the next logical step for bloopers after their recent illegal (but somehow ignored and unpunished by reddit admins?) brigade here. Feminists would like nothing better than to bully MGTOWs into silence. Protect yourselves, guys.

I went through with it. There is a legit website which is mgtow.co, it is invite only. There was mgtow related posts on there and chat. I even spoke to the developer of the site and seemed like a cool guy.

However after like a week my account was removed with no reason and didn't hear anything since, so no idea to be honest. Either it was accidental since the sight was still in development or on purpose just to harvest my email address into a email address list to sell on.

"Scam" maybe overacting a little, since its not like they're asking you to wire money to a Nigerian bank account. Its shady but not entirely malicious. Just don't use the same password on that site as you do for every other, yah bastard.

Yup. I ignored such things.

Assume every time your network, IP address and possibly real address will be exposed immediately as soon as you go to this invited web site.

Life ruined immediately.

Looks like one I got a few months ago.

Hey man! I would like to invite you to a mgtow networking and communication platform. It requires an access key but if you are interested I can invite you. Great post btw!

LordPorker · 2016-09-05T10:04:08+00:00

I've also seen a few sketchy sites aimed towards the MGTOW crowd; and judging by the poorly written content, they seem to be purely set up to collect ad revenue.

MaunaLoona · 2016-09-05T11:29:25+00:00

What makes you say that? I joined and it's a legit mgtow message board.

Albacorewing · 2016-09-05T13:51:54+00:00

I got that solicitation and ignored it.

morsvensen · 2016-09-05T10:51:44+00:00

Message was written by a woman - quite obvious. To get access to this super-secret website (yawn) you are really supposed to mail its owner, says so in the video... There ought to be more than commercial data collection behind this. Be careful and block the scammer.

2045_revolution · 2016-09-05T16:28:36+00:00

I got this message, it felt like there was something wrong with it.

Also the person who sent the message had 0 post history.

EvolvingRedneck · 2016-09-05T16:55:20+00:00

I checked for the same message I got. The account sending these messages has been suspended.

BukM1 · 2016-09-05T12:57:58+00:00

as always: send false details and make them waste their time, the more false flags and wild goose chases these fucktards follow the less viable this method is.

neutron_ · 2016-09-05T13:17:48+00:00

I got a very similar message and finally ended up at mgtow.co website. The posts and stuffs on that site is legit. I don't know where you are coming from.

Taguroizumo · 2016-09-05T14:42:05+00:00

Yeah i got that message, but thought who the fuck would refer me even if i wanted... But thanks for the heads up

Niko_Choski · 2016-09-06T17:15:16+00:00

Hey that video is mine and not barbarossa's. I don't think Alexander would have made such a blunter when he sent the message out.

The website is legit and I am a member with barbarossa who advertised the website on his latest video... I am not sure how you see it as spam, if it was a legit invitation.

xronorx · 2016-09-05T21:28:09+00:00

So is mgtow (dot) co legit or nah?

YungSwami · 2016-09-05T21:40:10+00:00

I have a account at that site, I used a burner email. It seems to be a less active version of this sub

Socrates_MGTOW · 2016-09-05T22:11:07+00:00

I just got referred to your site from their site.

Nice to meet you all. I will look around and start contributing.

scaur · 2016-09-06T02:43:03+00:00

Thx for the head up, I had a similar private message, someone inviting me to their website said:" members only, blah blah". I just ignore it and went my own way (no pun intended).

clive_smith · 2016-09-06T15:22:11+00:00

Hey guys, I can personally vouch for Alexander and MGTOW.co I am a member of the site and it is 100% legit, there are many MGTOW there already. Also, Niko, Colttaine, Barbarossa, Cheeky Bastard and many other content producers are there. I am there daily. Its invitation only, I have a video on my youtube page where I promote the site with Alexander, Niko has done the same and so has Barbarossa.

38028 · 2016-09-06T18:32:00+00:00

I saw that, but it came as a pm to this reddit account.

evilbunny_50 · 2016-09-18T23:58:31+00:00

Signed up with a junk email account. It's a legit forum in a kind of old BBS style.

No spam, no junk, it's just a site set up by someone who has a lot of passion for the topic.

Skalpel1337 · 2016-09-05T19:20:13+00:00

I'm registered there ...... it's mostly like this subreddit really ......

AddictedToSubReddits · 2016-09-05T21:22:10+00:00

I don't get it. Why would feminists want to harm MGTOW? It's a pretty passive stance. It just says we don't need you or want you. That makes feminists angry?
