Staff Dan C Posted August 20, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hi @Dansandeman, Welcome to the Affinity Forums 4 minutes ago, Dansandeman said: Can someone confirm if this website is legit or a scam site. What I can confirm is that it is not an official Affinity site - as we are not directly affiliated with this site, I believe it is a user created platform for sharing resources. 5 minutes ago, Dansandeman said: My firewall and browser is warning me when accessing it I am not seeing this warning on Chrome, though I don't believe it has the same security features built in. From a cursory google search, it appears this warning can be a false positive, but I certainly couldn't confirm if this is the case for you. I believe other forums regulars have used this site, and I have not seen any other reports of security concerns with this site - but as with any online site you should always use precaution. Hopefully the creator of the site, @Chris Van Cleve can provide some reassurances for you! Dansandeman 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Jenna Appleseed Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Avast Online Security (chrome plugin) doesn't block it as dangerous or otherwise detect any problems with that site. Loads ok in Microsoft Edge too. The warning shown in the screenshot in the first post's seems to be connected to a crypto wallet extension called Metamask (can't see anything obvious on the affinity.graphics site that's linked to ethereum/crypto). eta: just visited the crypto scam database the message says you can find information about how the site's dangerous and it's not even listed on there. It's probably a false positive because an aparentally dodgy ether wallet site also uses the .graphics TLD Edited August 23, 2021 by Jenna Appleseed Dansandeman and Dan C 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
