Gobo stumbles across a link to an interesting program promising to increase the project views and love-its (and therefore popularity) on his project. All he has to do is put in the name of his project and Scratch credentials to get started. But sometimes claims can sound too good to be true.

A very important message about password phishing and keeping your Scratch account safe from "hackers". http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/cheddargirl/2777401

I saw this in Paddle2See's account, ~18 hours after upload. Cool!

By the way, isn't a love-it bot technically impossible (not to mention against the TOS) without making "Over 9000" accounts?

Cool project! By the way, the LOLCAT way of saying it is 'OH NOEZ!'.

Yep, it's technically impossible and against the Community Guidelines (the part about gaming the community). But sometimes younger users don't have a fair grasp of what is and what isn't a scam.

this is like the least formal topic title I have ever seen a mod post xD

nice project! It is very informative, and I liked all the little easter eggs hidden everywhere, like the pear on the computer. big_smile

Great animation Cheddar, very informative! Thank you!

Never download any programs you're not sure about, guys! Not only can phishing steal your info, it can also harm your computer and give you malware!
