    Found an advert on a youtube video that directs to this site. The ad plays a BeamNG trailer claiming the game is free to play if you download their "emulator"

    Enter the site at your own discretion.
    THIS IS A SCAM SITE DO NOT ENTER IT UNLESS YOU ARE REPORTING IT
    This is their site. Someone should report it.

    Please, I would bring as little attention to this as possible. I think you should privately message the moderators or developers and explain the situation, posting it publicly is probably a bad idea. There could be some children that don't know what "phishing" or "scam" means, and they will follow the website's instructions simply because they see the words "BeamNG for free" on your post.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    It's better to report such violations directly to support@beamng.com / media@beamng.com, please do not post harmful links on the forums directly as someone may accidentally click it.
