⛔️ Do NOT click on the new link on The Sandbox Instagram account bio or fake “Season 4 Raffle”
🙏 Stay SAFE and alert. Thanks for reporting pic.twitter.com/cv2h3GZTo1
The Sandbox has revealingly notified Instagram about the entire issue and awaits their response. However, this is still a notable concern for the safety standards of Instagram.
The issue came to light when one of the users reported it to The Sandbox officials. At the time of writing, the situation is being dealt with.
Meanwhile, it is advised to the users that they should not click on the new link embedded on The Sandbox Instagram account bio or, rather said, the fake Season 4 Rafale.
The bio mentions that the official Season 4 Alpha Raffle is here, and the users stand a chance to win a free new land in their raffle giveaway. Well, following this revelation, the community was relieved and thanked Sebastien for bringing this to people’s attention.
However, it should be noted that the community wants Sebastien to make this information available across all the platforms associated with The Sandbox. In case of users mistakenly or unknowingly clicks the link and follow the steps, they will be going to get their wallet rekt.
