Nowadays it has become something of the most common, within a game we find purchases. This is the case in Fortnite, which includes these purchases inside it. In this case, purchases are paid with V-Bucks, which is the virtual currency of the game. Although to obtain it you have to pay it with real money. As you know, it is one of the most popular games of the moment.
So many people are looking to take advantage of this to scam users. For this reason, on pages like YouTube we find many advertisements that say that you can get free V-Bucks easily for use in Fortnite. Although they are scams.
Therefore, Epic Games has been forced to address the issue and clarify things for users. They have done it through a message on their Twitter account. They warn users to be vigilant and not fall for these scams that offer free V-Bucks on YouTube.
Say NO to scams!
Beware of scam sites offering free or discounted V-Bucks. The only official websites for Fortnite are https://t.co/8CxczhrZwk and https://t.co/zxorPaoiJb.

If we go to YouTube we find many videos of this type. So it is very likely that there are already enough users who want to play Fornite who have been affected by this type of scam. Epic Games comments that the only way to get V-Bucks safely is their website or the game's. Nowhere else is it possible.
In addition, wanted to emphasize that free V-Bucks do not exist. So the company has been quite clear about this situation. They claim that these pages only seek to scam the user and probably get their private data. So you have to be careful with this situation.
Given the popularity of Fornite Surely it is not the only scam that we are going to find in these months. Since surely new ways will emerge with which they will seek to obtain the money or data of the players of the popular Epic Games title.
