I'd be careful with this one. This is all purely my speculation but it could be a part of a scam operation by the same group or a person who's making Whoreizon and ExxxPlay games.

There it is. Why am I not surprised.
Again, this is all my speculation and I might love playing an armchair detective a bit too much but I'm not supporting any of these campaigns.
