It's just like the pool party scam that went around on the forums. Do not click it. The only Riot promotions are announced on the News page and/or can be found on the support page here.
If it sounds like an awesome deal, immediately be skeptical about it and check on the League News page if they announced it.
CaptainTatertits40 votesI clicked the link and won 50,000,000 from an african brother I never knew I had. Apparently my dad got around.
Anyway, all I have to do is pay a one-time processing fee of $5000 and it will all be wired to my account. go me!

xSnarkles8 votesOkay, so this might be a cross site scripting attack page.
If you were logged into the League of Legends site, clear your cache and reset your passwords to something else.
If you were logged into anything else that is League related,_ like LoLKing_, clear your cache and reset your passwords on LoLKing (or whatever) AND League of Legends. This is because your user names and passwords are very likely to be similar or the same. And while League of Legends is likely protecting your credentials, the stored information for those other sites may not be as safe.
I can write how cross site scripting attack works later, but right now if you are logged into anything, clear cache and reset all related passwords.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but unless League stores your password in the session information, you can't steal a password with XSS. All you'd have to do is log out and back in, wouldn't you?
Idelis1 votesThey even gave the address to their last scam in the site source info. So i've found you aren't lying about at least that. Though, i didn't really think you were lying anyway.
Áion1 votesAre you serious? Because I'm logged into to over 20 sties and I can't reset the password for all of them...
C0ME ON AND SLAM6 votesI've run the URL I got bilgewaterchestsdotcom through every site checker I know of. None report malware or viruses BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT LEGIT! The website was created 3 hours ago and from what I've seen there hasn't been much traffic. Only 2 Facebook posts as of now. Someone went to a lot of work for seemingly nothing? Seems like maybe it's a test for a future scam or maybe it'll ask for your account details once the fake event it over. Either way I'm curious and I think riot should keep an eye on it.
Spnork3 votesDude it's not even a scam you didnt actually click the link
C0ME ON AND SLAM3 votesDude it really is, Riot didn't get their domain through Cloudflare. Internet harder plz
Deep Terror Nami6 votesDon't worry about him. He was the first to post the scam (that I saw), and his account is already compromised.
Troll for Trump1 votesoh it's you. Gj this time tho.
Deep Terror Nami2 votesI didn't recognize your name so took the liberty of searching for my name in your history. Last time you spoke to me, you were calling me a liar even though I cited Riot sources. Do not speak to me if you're going to make references about a prior discussion where you were entirely wrong, and empirically proven so. I try my best to not make claims without official sources to back me up and do not expect any less when someone disagrees with them.
Troll for Trump1 votesproves you wrong you run away and don't comment tries to use against me later and fails ROFL
then acts like a dick after I compliment you
Deep Terror Nami2 votesYou never proved me wrong. I provided sources for my claims, and you did not. Someone who only provides anecdotal evidence to argue against empirical evidence has already lost.
Go on. Provide your evidence. I didn't run away, I am simply still waiting on your proof.
Let's hear it.
And you can only reply by calling me a dick? Again, if you have to resort to insults, do not speak to me. If you can't speak without harassing me then do not reply. You even equated me to a Hitler supporter.
Frothy Mushroom3 votesSomeone on my friends list sent me this link. "http://bilgewaterchests.com/EOOZjz" - I checked it on a secure site checker page and it told me that it was created 14 hours ago.
He goes by the name of Legitpanda72. I'm passing along this information because if this helps scumbags like this get banned, I couldn't be happier to help out. Here is photo evidence.

Frothy Mushroom1 votesI can't tell if you're laughing at me or with me, lol.
Deep Terror Nami7 votesHey, don't share the links ok? It exposes some people to it that otherwise wouldn't be.
TheRisingKing1 votesMaybe the person sent it to you cause they didn't know it was a fake? i myself didn't know it was fake till i told my friend about it and he did some research
Frothy Mushroom1 votesAre you really naive enough to believe that someone pitched this link to me, said nothing else at all and then logged off of their account 30 seconds later without knowing exactly what it was they were sending me? I haven't spoken to this player in months and have no connection to this person outside of league of legends.
TheRisingKing1 voteswell sorry im a stupid
monden2 votesHold on.. I clicked on it, because my friend sent it to me and told me not to click it. Curiosity killed the cat, you could say. I'm worried about my account now, is something going to happen to it? Will I get a virus on my iPad? (Sent it to me through Skype which I checked on my iPad)
Deep Terror Nami3 votesIf you're worried, the best thing to do is change your password.
Almorada2 votesI won 350,000,000,001 Zimbabwe dollars!
MLT2 votesThis concerns me mostly because I clicked the link before it was announced that a new scam was going around. Since then I've reset my passwords and deleted any saved credit card data. I also cleared my cache of the data. After doing all of this I can still log into my account but I want to know if there is anything else that I can do. Normally I don't click links like this but someone on my friends list that I had just finished a game with sent me the link and I sent it to some people. I feel terrible about doing it but it looked like the real LoL site. Is there anything else that can be done to protect my info and my account and is there anything that will be done for people affected by this scam?
Curling Veigar2 votesi clicked it because a friend sent it to me before I knew anything; just woke up
am i gonna get 3lit3 h4x0red now?
On a serious note, what can clicking on a page do? I haven't put any information in anything and I've been logged in so keylogging can't happen
Deep Terror Nami2 votesI don't know a whole lot about what they can do, but another person posted an explanation that makes a lot of sense;
Okay, so this might be a cross site scripting attack page.
If you were logged into the League of Legends site, clear your cache and reset your passwords to something else.

bookwormpete1 votesI feel your pain, buddy. I just found out it was a scam only five minutes ago, after sending the link to everyone I could. 
HazeBurn1 votesOkay so I accidentally clicked on it skeptical at first and it is separate from the league of legends website but links back to it but not the other way back. I didn't see anything about it however i don't understand what it can do from just clicking a link i mean it can give me a virus but it doesn't ask for any personal info.
R1102 votesEven if you didn't click anything on that website, that doesn't stop it from starting a malicious script. I recommend to change your password and any password that is identical to your league password.
iM Uranium1 votesYou click it than what?
Deep Terror Nami2 votesThen you lose your account.
undeadshinigami81 votesso is this "crew gathering" event a scam ? or not ?
can a riot employee answer this pls...
Deep Terror Nami2 votesCheck the support article on the bilgewater event and the League news page; there is no mention of this. (I provided the links for convenience, but you can look them up on your own as well)
These scammers did the exact same thing during the pool party event. You don't wait for a Rioter to tell you it isn't a scam, if a Rioter didn't announce it then it is.
warthog1171 votesSo has anyone found anything happening after clicking the link? I accidentally clicked it and now I cleared my cache, am on a different one of my accounts, and am running multiple virus scans.
CaptainTatertits2 votesSo has anyone found anything happening after clicking the link? I accidentally clicked it and now I cleared my cache, am on a different one of my accounts, and am running multiple virus scans.
viruses are one issue, but the main issue is that if you clicked it, it has your password now. change it immediately before they screw you over.
Starcall Casey1 votesThe 'Bilgewater chests' people are talking about are most likely related to the rewards you get after completing a tournament on their new page. This is in the news feed and is not a virus: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/bilgewater-boarding-parties-drop-anchor In the page there's a link to the tournament page where you can enter your team, play against other teams and if you get 1st place you get RP, Ip win boost, triumphant ryze and a bilgewater chest. I haven't seen any other websites that claim to offer chest for entering your info, is the page that riot created somehow making you think that it's a virus? or are there actual virus websites.
Deep Terror Nami9 votesNo, the thing I'm talking about is completely separate. It is using the pretext of the event to lure people in because it sounds and looks legitimate. There haven't been a lot of the scam threads posted, and they were deleted pretty quickly which is why you haven't seen them. They will probably show up en force later when more people are on the boards. The pool party scam was really invasive on the boards, and this is exactly the same.
MeleeNuke1 votesKinda like that fake christmas event last year.
UrFifeIsForfeit1 votesSo.. I clicked on the link when I wasn't logged in on the League site, that means nothing happens to me right?
God of Strings1 votesCan you prove this?
Deep Terror Nami1 votesI already provided the links from Riot's official promotion page. If you still think third party "free skins" on a website made a couple days ago in Panama designed to look official but clearly has no Riot affiliation is real, then go for it. You aren't my problem until you try spreading it around, which will get your account banned. Every post a person does on the forums (as the site asks them to) is deleted within minutes; do you really think Riot is telling people to spread it around then deleting it? There is no question that this is a scam.
D1VK1NG1 votesits just one of those survey scams i went all the way on my mums laptop to check "she hasn't used her laptop in 2 years"
