Supercell ID Scam Awareness

This is why we shouldn’t have global. This definitely won’t be a problem for Clash Royale unless you let randomers into your clan.

And maybe some kids could do with a bit more parental involvement, to help keep them safe. There’s a Parent’s Guide here: http://supercell.com/en/parents/ Key points are you must be at least 13 to play and that a global chat feature means it’s wise to speak to your children about their digital footprint and about how nobody (them included) should be sharing things like email address in that chat. If you aren’t old enough to understand scams exist and to be wary of strangers offering stuff, then frankly you’re not old enough or experienced enough to play an online game with a chat feature while unsupervised.

Blaming the kids rather than the scammers? Nice.

He got a point. The game is supposed to be played by 13 year old and I think even in that age kids should be aware of scams. If they get scammed, it's because they are not careful. But that doesnt mean the scammers are good.

So most of the blame should be apportioned to the scammee rather than the scammer?

Not at all. Scammers exist, that’s an unfortunate part of life and even more so online life. Adults have a part to play in keeping their children safe online. The person I was replying to seemed to be suggesting the game was made for young kids (it’s not) and that we (Ajax in particular) expect an adult understanding from them: we don’t, teens are kids not adults, and need parental assistance to understand how to be safe online precisely because they are vulnerable (despite adolescent swagger). Nobody is blaming anyone, just saying that more can be done to heighten awareness of how to avoid scams and protect the vulnerable from being taken advantage of by scammers.

I never said that. I don't blame the kids. But I feel it's their responsibility to be aware of scammers. If one is aware of the problem, the problem of scamming wont exist. But there are kids who get scammed just because they want free gems etc. You cant stop the scammers as there will always be people who wanna steal stuff from others, So its better to make kids aware of it.

This post is spot on. I can't speak for other cultures but in the USA, a obscene amount of parents don't act like parents. A lot of kids never have a chance to get educated, parental education is just as important as what they learn at school.

I literally just tried that. I just switched accounts.

I was on my main account linked to GP. I then logged into a SC ID I set up for one of my other accounts. I was put into my other account and then I disconnected from SC ID and returned to my main account.

No I am not wrong.

You've confused what he's saying. He's not saying that you can't login to your "main account" using Google Play after you've been logged into another account that's on Supercell ID. He's saying that if you should change your "main account" over to Supercell ID, you will not be able to play it using Google Play any more.

The point is, you can be scammed out of your account whether you are on Supercell ID or Google Play. The only difference is whether you give a scammer access to your account at the same time as you, or instead of you.
