This is a blog informing you of a minecraft scam that's going around...
The Optifine.me free cape scam is where they make a copy of the optifine site and make it look official.
They say that they will be offering a free cape if you put in your username and password to your account.
This is to get your account and screw up your life.
They usually use your account to scam others by advertising and getting the person banned on major servers like Mineplex.

So I'm warning you....
If you see your in game friend talking about getting a free optifine cape.
They are most likely some dude that just took your friend's account through the scam.

BEWARE! BE SAFE!

Never saw this, but thanks for informing us, because younger people would problaly believe it.

"This is to get your account and screw up your life. "

You can get your account back trought email. But even if you can't,  if you didn't donate much, -20 bucks... that's not a whole life.

Server owners should put up a insta mute plugin if there is a similar message being repeated or have a moderator on at all times.

I'm not a server owner... You should get one a server owner and give them that idea you can make.
They might even pay you for it.
