Will you be my victim-I mean Valentine? Scam Awareness repost!

Please be cautious of offers that promise "Free RP/skins". Far more often than not they are just scams, and you are risking your account and personal information by going to them. They like to say they are giving away a recently released skin or some RP just for signing up and sharing their link, and are almost always distinctly different from a Twitch streamer giving RP cards which is recognizable by the verbiage used (Click this link for free RP!); if you can't find the offer through a Riot source first, it isn't an offer from Riot.

Do not share the links no matter what. If you want to report it to Riot but include the link for them, submit a Support Ticket so that other players are not exposed to the scam who otherwise wouldn't be. If you see one of these scams being shared, immediately report it.

Riot Games official pages are leagueoflegends.com, riotgames.com, or lolesports.com. If you want to see what current promotions they are offering you can find them on their support page here, and most new offers are announced on the home page of this site.

Riot censors the most common scam sites shared on the boards so that they're harmless, but the link section doesn't benefit from the filter, and some may use a link redirection service to give it a different name that isn't censored. Think twice before trying to redeem offers that seem too good to be true; more often than not, they are. Double check the URL for inconsistencies with the Riot sites if it looks real, because the scammers often create a new site that looks exactly like the official sites and is named relating to a current in-game event (Such as Harrowing or Snowdown + rewards/giveaway etc.); it's sometimes possible for your computer to be compromised without you actually giving them information, so don't even go to look at it. As I said, crosscheck with the official sites when in doubt.
