Epic Games recently spoke about scams that some content creators of Fortnite: Battle Royale are taking place in the program “Support a creator”. The company has said to be aware of the existence of this series of creators and they will not allow them to continue to get their way, so will take steps to expel them and to prevent more similar cases from happening in the future.

Measures to ban scammers from “Support a Creator”
This class of scammers from Fortnite’s “Support a Creator” program can usually be recognized, as they say from Epic Games, because they are individuals who “generate audiovisual material for social networks where promise players benefits in exchange for using a code of Support a specific creator “. Another common type of scam includes “The creation of creative islands that promise player rewards, such as free turkey gift cards. Players who use these codes never receive those special benefits that the creator had promised them”.
For avoid future fraud casesEpic has announced that they will take different measures to protect their players, such as the following:
- From now and, for the moment, already it will not be possible to change the code of creator.
- An upcoming version of Supports a Creator will require that all creators, new or existing, update and link your profiles with legitimate social networks.
Epic takes breaches of the terms of service and code of conduct very seriously and the company is already studying additional measures to prevent these abuses, including possible legal measures. “Committing fraud on the show draws revenue away from honest creators who design amazing, quality content, and who also support Fortnite, the Epic Games Store, and gamers.”.
Creators cannot offer free costume rewards or paVos in exchange for using their code.
It is important to take into account various details to know that we are not facing a scam user, such as the fact that the creators cannot offer free costume rewards or turkeys in exchange for using your code. “Creating content intended to scam players is a violation of the creators’ agreement with Epic Games. Penalties for this type of behavior include the expulsion from the program Support a creator and cancellation of any payment possible or pending “.
Finally, Epic reminds us that we can quickly report any type of fraudulent content sending a support issue to the player and adding the hashtag ‘#reportacreator’. In the incident it is necessary to include a capture of the creator code and a link to the content so that Epic can investigate it. If a video is added, even better.
