TSTO Tips now promotes a third-party cheating scheme
I was a bit surprised when I saw that earlier too as I have always just assumed they were hacking and giving people the items/donuts/money.
Forum Discussion
Just wanted to say I am very confident that the TSTO blog / website has indeed been hacked. It's going to cause a lot of people and probablty EA some grief.
The man who started it 'Mr. TSTO tips' went on a break for a number of weeks after recieving hassel from users having started a debate on the US gun laws after in-game text mentioned it.
Yesterday that 'users' came back to the blog and without so much of a hello I'm back started pluging gamezino. It is clerarly a cheat / hack which has always been the one thing that blog / website stood against. I can say this as a 3 month + daily reader.
All the comments from 'readers' appear to be highly, almost over the top positive with 2 different users posting the same post verbatim. The site is clearly being used as a promotional platform.
None of the regular users are getting their posts past moderation and are as such being silenced from blowing the whistle. I forsee many many people giving away both their usernames and passwords plus lots of money to that scam site.
All I can do is hope the REAL Mr. TSTO grabs control back and that EA try to battle that scam as much as possible. if hardcore users who purchase donuts from EA gets scammed, EA will probabaly loose money which could affect the sustainability of the game.
Long story short ............ stay away from gamezino but dont be too harsh on tstotip.com I am confident they have been hacked and have no part to play in any of this.
Keep tapping!
