Hi all,

We wanted to share this email from Patreon regarding an email you may or may not have received claiming that an unknown party had all your personal details and would release them to the public if you didn’t send ONE Bitcoin.

We got one because of our account and since we support a few creators via our Patreon as well. But this email was just sent by the companies co-founder:

Patreon Scam warning

So if you got that email, and it didn’t get caught by spam filters, please mark it as such.

If you have any concerns or issues regarding supporting us on Patreon, do not hesitate to reply to this post, @ us on Twitter [@INeedDivGms] or email to whyineeddiversegames@gmail.com

Thank you,

#INeedDiverseGames founder

Tanya D.
