Hello buzzerbeater's!
Just saw a video on youtube of a website which looks like it is a database with players of the game! They say that they currently have more than 170k of players statistics.

Scam. Don't EVER give your password to anyone. That's what BB-Key is for. The BB's should look to see if legal steps can be taken against this site's owners.

Actually, they do not ask for your password. The only password you need is a login password.

Still, absolutely unethical and probably ilegal to make money out of bbs work.

Hahaha, I knew this was gonna happen.

This is the result of logging on some "bb helping" websites. They save your player skills, or even worse, they save your login and password, which lets them query your data whenever they want (unless you change password). I told Marin about this some time ago, but he doesn't give a damn, he didn't even inform everyone about potential consequences of logging to some sites.

I have not been able to say haha as I found at least one of my players in this database, and I don't really like this. I share my skills with 1 website, where no one is able to see it, at least i thought so

This database is made by transfer list scanner, automatic script which collects data. Please look at row "Last updated", and compare to own players. In most cases it's day of last transfer (if not, it means player was on TL but nobody bought him). In database don't exist players, who weren't put on TL.

I didn't bother to log on that site to check it out, but what I said is still realistic (just not in this case).
