Here we go again - STAY AWAY FROM ANY SIMS 3 DEMO’s This little gem just popped up in my RSS feeds advertising a demo for The Sims 3.* After double checking that my 3 different anti-virus software programs were up to date, popup blocker was ready, ad blocker was on I took the plunge into the link that it sent me to - http://www.sims3demo.com/ (I decided it’s best to not link to it).* Seems like the suppose “hackers, spammers, whatever you call them” believe the Simmers to be a gullible bunch.* While true, some of us are (I’d be lying if I said otherwise - no offense) many of us are aware that it’s a fake.* For the ones that may think it is real, this message is to let you know otherwise. If you see any signs of someone claiming there is a Sims 3 Demo, IT’S ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS THEY TELL YOU TO.* I went in expecting the site to try to load some malicious files onto my computer, and my anti-virus caught 27 attempts.* Thankfully I knew what was to be expected.* The site also tries to make itself legible by linking to the Sims 3 Cri fansite (don’t worry, this site is safe) by using the news put out by their RSS reader. I’ve captured a screen posted below of what the site looks like.* If you come across or someone sends you a link to a Sims 3 demo, remember DO NOT CLICK.* If there was a true demo to be released, you’ll know about it from TheSims3.com…otherwise trust no one (and I have to point out, not even us fansites unless we’re getting our news from the official site and are directing you to there). http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...kr.com/3610/3477214476_49a90c602e.jpg?v=0[/IM Fellow webmasters and Sims fans, you know the drill.* Please put the word out there and make sure Simmers stay away from http://www.sims3demo.com/ and/or any other sites offering a Sims 3 demo.* I’ve uploaded the screen to my http://www.flickr.com/photos/simprograms/3477214476/"][B]flickr gallery[/, you’re welcome to link to the various size that you need for posting this message, thanks!
