Hi,

I'm trying to ask a question, but I can't post in threads, I can't make a new thread and I can't enter chat.

All I want to know is if this website is a scam:

http://www.granturismo5code.blogspot.com/

They say they are offering free DLC codes for the DLC cars. If it is, I think we should make our members aware of it.
 
You are unable to post in threads because your first posts need to be approved by a moderator. It applies to all new members so that we can filter out advertising. You are also unable to post threads in the GT5 sub-forums until such time as you have one hundred posts to your name; this is to reduce the number of duplicate threads popping up.

If the website you have linked to is a scam, the moderators will investigate, and appropriate action will be taken. At a cursory glance, the website appears to be legitimate as it is not asking for money in exchange for the codes; however, we will have to download a file from the site and attempt to validate it to be certain.
 
I clicked on the link in the first post, clicked the SLS to download the code and it asked me to take a survey and give them a valid e-mail address (which I didn't bother with) so I went to close the tabs and it locked Firefox up hard. Something smells fishy and personally, I'd stay clear of it.

Proceed at your own risk.

If anyone does happen to get it to work, I wouldn't mind the SLS. :D
 
Then it's probably a good idea to make a post or sticky or something mentioning that one of our members has found a scam website because quite honestly if it was a DLC code it'd be a text file of maybe 9kb, not 100 or something. I think it's either a password miner or some small executable.

I just wanted to bring it to the forums attention. So please ensure our members aren't scammed.
 
Yeah it's a sharecash site, so almost definitely a scam.

I didn't even get to downlaod it (surveys wouldn't load), so I don't know whether it's malicious as well.
 
Unfortunately, it's a scam, I don't want to give it any more publicity via our forums here.
