Fortnite Mobile WARNING: Epic Games' caution against sign-up and iOS download scams
Fortnite's Twitter account has warned players against the threat of imposters offering "false mobile download links".
The tweet came late last night from the official account and confirmed that the developers have still not sent any download codes out for anyone who signed up to be amongst the first to play the game on mobile and tablet.
Fortnite's official tweet read:
"We have not sent out any mobile invites yet. Please be aware of false mobile download links. Our official URLs are http://Fortnite.com and http://Epicgames.com"
This also follows on from a past warning tweeted out by the social media team warning against people offering "free" V-Bucks, the in-game currency for the game.
"PSA: Visiting websites or clicking links claiming “free” Vbucks or in-game items are unsafe. The official Fortnite website is http://Fortnite.com . Guard your account information and DO NOT trust third-party websites with your account information!"
It's all sound information and it should be remembered that there are a lot of people on social media sites, especially Twitter, claiming to offer V-Bucks or mobile download links.
It's likely this will only escalate further when the codes are actually sent out, but for now, don't trust anything unless it comes from the official Fortnite account. If you're yet to sign up you can still do so, just follow the details underneath the gallery.
