New kind of cheating! WARNING , they are ruining the game

There are new cheaters in the game, they look like commercial corp. cities, all are level50 citylevel, having 0 inhabitants and selling you discount simcash and simdollars, calling a whatsapp number.

They offer all shopitems per one, and when gone, it refiills in a minute. So its nice to refill your shopitems. They advertize as well, so everyone can reach them. 
at first, it looks like a nice feature, but what if you whatsapp and they also offer unlimited magnetism or other nice upgrades. 

then,  we all are cheaters and the game is sent to hell!

please check, and  fix, the citynames are all supplied by simcity,

    What if I told you that I know of at least 40 people that reported this about 3 or 4 weeks ago yet here we are? 🤔

    @schiphol-plaza @GrumpyBedlam Thanks for raising the issue again. I also reported it a while ago. Likely, also you did. It worries me that these individuals are still active on SimCity BuildIt. Yet we cannot just assume there is a glitch in the game (option a) that these guys have discovered and are exploiting. It could just as well be (b) an insider from the game developer or (c) a scammer. Option (c) is most likely, and this means you’ll lose your money and get no SimCash. And maybe on top you will pick up a computer virus or ransomware. In any case, it would be pretty reckless to do business with these folks.

    @Valdonega26 Your option B never came into my head but now that you mention it, everyone has their price, it's went on a while now and nothing seems to have been done about it.
    SimCash prizes across the board have been vastly reduced, this starts happening and you cannot help but wonder now.
    The plot thickens 🤔

    You mean Hokusai Cliffs ?

    I reported that too a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if it's the game giving us a break finding common materials. I have certainly been using it regularly for that. No way in hell I would contact the whatsapp

    @Rencheck94 All the default names that the game assigns to new cities basically.
    There was a joke post on one of the fan pages a while back listing them all, it was funny at the time 😉

    @schiphol-plaza Actually once here in China, in the Chinese vision of simcity buildit, we also saw this when purchasing in other cities. But they offer discount simcash on WeChat. So now, Chinese vision players can't go to other cities when purchasing. We have to stay in our own cities.😭Cheaters who offer discount simcash also title the mayor competition with 888888 green crystal scores. And they release ads in every open club. Because of this, many expressions are banned. As a result, We have trouble communicating.

    I feel me a bit tired about this weekend war against cheaters and game here watch more information about this bad situation. I have to say, only way to play this game in the future is f2p. Don't use your own money to like this problem.

    Two photos more to collection.

    That's terrible. They need to have a better solution than that.
