An example of a fake cheating site.

Cheating websites are various websites that claim to offer cheats or hacks (such as infinite currencies) of a particular or various video games (usually an online game like Clash of Clans). Several of them are fake. The fake ones only demand a bare minimal amount of information from you for making the hack. But when it appears that all is set, the site will demand you to perform a "short" survey to prove that you are not a bot to prevent "server overloading". These sites are sometimes created by bots on Blogspot, Wordpress, or other site builders.

Why They are cheating[edit | edit source]

  1. They're all scams. These hacks are never meant to work. Even if you do manage to complete their offer, at best you'll receive a fake hack that's completely ineffective or nothing, at worst you'll get viruses. This is especially true on logins as they are used for phishing as well.
  2. They, especially if they are a bot, have horrible grammar.
  3. Cheating in video games, no matter how tempting, should not be encouraged. Especially in online games.
  4. They require you to perform a short survey, but the link they provide usually leads to a fraudulent reward site or a gambling site.
    • This is part of the scam, which is for the purpose of gaining traffic to scam sites.
  5. Some of these sites host adware, malware or viruses that will hack into your account and steal your personal info.
  6. Some of these sites post fake positive reviews from supposedly satisfied customers.
    • Many times, you can't even put in a comment or review or the comment input box is fake.
  7. Many of the cheats/hacks they claim to offer are impossible to perform, especially in an online game, since all the values (such as currency, items, experience and health) are stored on the game's server.
  8. Their claims are usually too good to be true. Think about it: If you've managed to create a powerful, untraceable hack to a game, why will you host it for free online? Why wouldn't you sell it to people to make a quick buck? Proper hackers usually charge for their service and provide evidence of their works' effectiveness.
  9. People have now started to make fake free Robux games on Roblox that just steal your account. Worst of all, due to bots, some of those games get on the front page.
  10. False advertising: Most of them say they don't need verification, but they actually do and won't even let you get past the verification.
  11. Sometimes the generator has comments, but 99% of the time the comments are fake to trick people to think it's real, and just like survey-to-download sites.
  12. Links to these sites are often shared by spambots on social media. Even more so, most of them put likes on the video and fake replies to make it seem legitimate as well. With some social media platforms not having dislikes, the only way to prove that its fake is via a legitimate comment.
    • Some of these ads are in Roblox, where it tells that you are getting the most expensive hat in the game called "Dominos" by clicking a green button. Upon clicking it, will lead to their fake Robux games group.
  13. As mentioned above, this is a problem on Roblox, but on top of that bots are not everywhere in Roblox spamming with a link to a scam site, as these bots are getting much smarter nowadays.
  14. After 2013, it has also become a huge problem on YouTube as spambots send links in comments on people's gaming-related videos.
    • In addition to YouTube, due to the poor curation of advertisements on AdSense and YouTube, scammers are submitting these scams as advertisements and they are being approved by Google for some reason.
    • To top it all off, most of the comments on these videos are most likely from fake accounts giving false positive feedback.
