Warning of Garena Fake Sites

As you all know scamming and tricking players is present in every gaming community, no matter how much you fight against it. We've noted a large amount of fake Garena sites around the net, some of them have been spread via bots or even the own creators of these sites with Garena accounts.

Please do not open these sites and if you do, NEVER log in there! If you do log in, you'll be giving them your password. This way they'll "hack", steal your account from you.

Examples of fake sites:
- garena.php.net.us
- garena-shop.octopis.com
(don't go on them!)

Support only the official Garena website.
Protect yourself!
