Fans of the popular action-adventure game, Grand Theft Auto, have come across fake online ads asking them to download the next game in the series, GTA 6, while surfing the net.
Rockstar Games, the company responsible for the highly successful GTA game series, announced in early 2022 that the next sequel, Grand Theft Auto 6, is in development.
However, the studio is otherwise notorious for being tight-lipped and this gives a chance for any associated GTA 6 rumors to flourish. For years, there have been numerous rumors and unsubstantiated claims surrounding GTA 6 and while there's now an official confirmation of its existence, the rumors still persist.
Unfortunately, some elements take things further: they take advantage of the lack of details about the game to scam unsuspecting fans. A few months ago, reports surfaced about fake GTA 6 ads on YouTube. While the purpose of these ads wasn't immediately evident, it is not far-fetched to assume it was an attempt at data collection or something equally nefarious.
