OBS fraud site? https://obstudio.cam/

[ebee]

Hi!

By googling just "OBS" the first link directed me to

https://obstudio.cam/

I went and downloaded the windows installer, and even though it was named AppSetup.exe, I went and installed it.

Afterwards I started wondering why none of the forum etc. links on the above site did not work, and discovered that it is not this proper OBS site at all.

Did I just install some digital corona viruz on my computer? Or is this just some older site still ingering on some google adverts?

Thanks in advance,
ebee

I downloaded obs from that exact site and ran the setup on my new pc. It stole my google account credentials and used it for google ads advertising. google then tried to charge me 120 bucks for advertising, which luckily I do not have in that debit card. I advise to change your passwords immediately

This has been reported upstream.

this whole thread should be deleted since the site url is in the title.

Why? It is better if it is in title as search engines would index it and show on searches so possibly save someone from trouble.

The domain in question got suspended by the registrar.

Because it is a scam site.

It's a scam page, A friend of mine got inside another scam site as well:
obstudio.ink (Don't enter/download from it)

Because it is a scam site.

But removing it form here will not remove it from web and search engines. It is better it is mentioned here and indexed by search engines so people could find out that it is scam site.
